I believe our US government would like to grant visas to as many people as they can. However, if anyone wants to attend a meeting in the US is granted a visa to come here, then I can imagine there will be 100 million visa applications for the IETF meeting in CA next year alone.
Having 100 million people paying the conference fee for the next IETF in San Francisco, just so they could get a 1-entry conference visa (which is what India offers at no cost for the IGF in Hyderabad), would radically change the economical situation for the IETF.
