I'd gotten the impression from other posts on here that it took all kinds of herculean efforts to get the tablet video chat working, but that's totally untrue, it's a very simple process.
Couldn't be simpler than that.

A phenomenon that I observed whilst traveling through Africa a few months ago, (Senegal, Zimbabwe and South Africa) was that mobile operators had skipped over Edge in most cases and gone straight to 3g/HSDPA from no data services or basic GPRS and also were doing a roaring business selling data cards and USB modems with HSDPA capability circumventing DSL and fiber solutions that are probably more difficult to setup and maintain in Africa.
I did a GoogleTalk video call with my GF back in the US over the shared HSDPA link and it worked perfectly.
