Vidtel, the “world’s first” video telephony company, was spotted last week at the Plug and Play expo.

Frequent blogger Luca Filigheddu saw a demo of the service running on a Grandstream video phone.  Costs for the service will be “in the range of $30-50″ per month and should include a video phone, plus unlimited video calls and some amount of stock vanilla voice calls. Currently, the service is in a closed beta and supposedly will be available in December through selected retail channels.

Skeptics might note that Vonage wanted to take a run at the video phone market in 2005 with mixed results, and Packet8 has had a foot in the videophone service for quite some time. Plus there are freebie services, such as Skype and Mac-whatever, that have been around for a while.
