They CAN"T get better until the infrastructure is able to support quality
of service. Until then, trying to do large-scale real-time conferencing is
just a good way either to get lousy service or to break the net.
More importantly, you do not make incremental production progress by
putting a new service into the critical path of an essential political
process, particularly when there is no precedent for using that service in
such a way.
As you know, I like moving things into production.
But not if they are sure to fail.
