FaceTime may be coming to 3G networks

As noted by Gizmodo and confirmed by AppleInsider, users running iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone will be notified that "Disabling 3G may end FaceTime" if they attempt to disable 3G connectivity during participating in a FaceTime call over a Wi-Fi connection. iPhones are said to maintain FaceTime calls even if the 3G connection is enabled or disabled, fueling speculation that the warnings may be an inadvertent confirmation that Apple all things considered may be willing to lift existing restrictions that prevent users from placing video calls over 3G cellular networks. Even if Apple is willing to provide additional flexibility, it remains unclear if carriers will embrace the capabilities. FaceTime in essence works in the same manner as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services just as Skype, bypassing voice-minute caps by transferring the communication onto a data plan.

.. would be stupid, not to allow this huge data usage, unless they think their network can't handle the load!Remember: They make money by people using their data-services.. ;-)
