And as for those "image transformers," they're around too, but not so widespread, and they're at the will of the video sender, not the receiver.

I went to foreign campuses of my US-based university. Actually, I started/completed my schooling entirely overseas, so while I could have gone to school in the US, I elected to do it all abroad.
If you live in the States, that's probably the best course of action; go to a US school that has good international transfer options.

I went to Australia and Japan for grad school, can't recommend it highly enough. Not only was my program great, but the international experience is invaluable.
You owe it to yourself to spend at least a year studying abroad, whether it adds to your technical degree or not.
Submission + - Forgent Patent Troll Loses Again
anagama writes: "Forgent Networks, a patent troll, got the slap down by a TX jury in May when it invalidated a patent Forgent held regarding video teleconferencing over telephone lines, and today, its motion for a new trial against EchoStar was denied. In fact, the court awarded EchoStar $90k in costs. Forgent probably isn't crying that much though, it already extorted $28m from other defendants. Some of you may recall that Forgent made a business out of cheating companies for jpeg use — till their patent was largely invalidated on that front as well."
