As long as we're bitching about the network: would it be possible to

streaming over unicast is now routine as the codecs are so much better 
these days, as is typical access bandwidth. I'll happily take 40 kbps 
MPEG-4 audio only; the video is so badly out of sync that it is 
unwatchable most of the time anyway.

if you want to show up with encoders I'll give you an audio/video feed... 
then you can baby your boxes and not go to any meeting you want all week 
just like me. I would be able lot cheaper and less work if the multicast 
folks just paid to go to the meeting like normal people.
