Yeah. Sigh. 

I guess the issue then becomes whether this is enough of a step in right direction that it can be built on - and whether it's worth the effort. 

Cullen/Jonathan - can you speak to any of the operational issues w.r.t. 'failure surprise' in the existing implementation?

You're looking in the wrong place, then.

The problem is that VIPR really provides something more like "random failure surprise," as some portion of the call attempts must go over the (non-video-capable) PSTN. The user doesn't have any idea about, or control over, when this will happen. So while it might be something you could use for personal purposes -- where frequent video call setup failures would be okay -- I doubt it's a viable video solution in a business environment. To run a business, you need something better than "random failure surprise".
