Today, streaming-video startup Qik announced a new global service called Qik Roam with Irish Deputy Prime Minister (or Tánaiste) Mary Coughlan and Irish telecom company Cubic Telecom CEO Pat Phelan on hand to kick it off. The service sounds pretty interesting - leveraging Cubic Telecom's mobile SIM technology MAXRoam to allow cell phone users to record Qik streaming video at local cell phone rates no matter where they are in the world. The only problem is, nobody outside of the room knew what was happening until the event was over.
