Simon - Careful what you promse. I am sure someone will try to use the service 
through two satelite hops and then complain about the latency. Unfortunately, 
we cannot (yet) get of this speed of light thing :-)

Dear sm,

just for the sake of completeness, I have to say that the following statement 
is not 100% correct:


The RFP mentions bidirectional audio and video.  As John has attempted to 
chair a working group remotely, he might be aware that real-time can mean 
more than 10 seconds between the time an event occurs and when it is 
registered at the remote end.

I am quite confident that none of the tools you mention entails such a long 
delay. You are probably talking about the mp3 audio feed, which, as far as I 
know, has never been meant to represent a real-time, bidirectional means of 
interaction (and which, btw, proves really helpful when you want to access 
high-quality recordings after the meeting).
I can state for sure that we have used Meetecho for remote presentations in 
Hiroshima, in the mediactrl WG meeting: interaction happens in real-time.

Cheers,

Simon
