BTW, slightly better than just not showing up is watching the multicast feed. In fact, the more people who choose to participate this way will indeed serve to make a justification to make this better, i.e. real-time feedback from the network, etc. And before anyone starts whining about not having multicast access, the alternative is to send out unicast streams. And of course this creates an immense cost in terms of additional bandwidth needed out of the hotel. -Kevin
