Video conferencing

One of the organizers of this event is a video conferencing outfit by the name of Videolinq. There are also numerous other VC providers with booths. This would suggest a massive push for educators to use VC. Where does it fit into the near future of delivery? Given the state of broadband in this country, I am unsure about VC.

One of the opening speakers was VC'd in and it was a fairly poor example of how VC works - in this country anyway.
