I've used Internet video conferencing with a few thousand folks. Audio got

The big problem is the bandwidth, into the servers, for the Internet
telephony stuff and *that* doesn't have to be at the meeting site. The
meeting site only needs a satellite server for the audio and that could
handle the video as well.
I've tried Internet phone from/to quite a few long-haul segments of the
Internet and the results have been tolerable for, at most, only a couple of
minutes.
I've also watched other uses of mbone broadcasting. It's an incredible
accomplishment, but it is not ready for use as an integral part of a
critical decision process.

I guess that means no MIME or alternate character sets, either.
