- Broadcasting <whatever> seems an order of magnitude simpler to me than
- interactive video or voice. Whatever the variance in delay is, you just need a
- sufficiently large buffer at the receiving end to restore timing requirements.
- And if the network load is sufficiently low, the loss of data can be kept to
- an acceptable level.
