This is also not going to be technically possible in a mature product. If all servers were located in Canada, that would mean two people having an encrypted conversation in Europe would have an additional 300ms latency added to their call. Getting low-latency audio working on many mobile platforms is extremely difficult, even when you don't have the network working against you. - moxie -- http://www.thoughtcrime.org -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
