Sheesh, I didn't realize we are still living in 2004. I can't believe we're still bringing up the myth that Wifi-based features on the phone screws operators over. It's like saying ppl using the PC screw mobile operators over. If the carrier isn't ready to handle video traffic, then limiting the video call feature to Wifi only and still make ppl lock in on the carrier is GOOD for them, not bad!!

True. But the ideal would be to allow the actual phone user, or the network, decide what can and can't be done with the phone. If an iPhone user is prepared to pay to make video calls and his/her network is happy to charge for the privilege, it's downright stupid of the OS to prevent this.
