That raises the obvious question: How do those who can't afford to go
to an expensive conference like Globecom or ICC get to make the case
for cheaper conferences?
Could the telepresence options discussed earlier be able to be applied
to those meetings? The IETF does it well, with all speakers
announcing themselves and speaking into a microphone connected to an
on-line audio stream, along with a person taking notes to a text-based
chat system etc.
It wouldn't have to be at all meetings, but would be good to have at a
meeting discussing the need for low-budget conferences.
