Well first we need to make a distinction.

"Video Chat" uses the internet and you have to have an account with a service like Qik or Google Voice.

"Video Call" is just dial a phone number and get video. (at least that is how I have always used the terms).

The news article was talking about video calling.

Lots of phones can do video chat and some phones can do one-way video calling but I don't know of any wireless phones in the U.S. that can do two-way video calling just by dialing the person's phone number.
