[Chapter-delegates] PacINET 2006 keynote speeches

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Franck,

at some point, an entreprenuering, or a socially-minded, soul will 
separate a low-bandwidth audio stream, the PPT slides, and a few 
fixed-image captions, and re-broadcast or re-save them, for limited 
bandwidth situations. Not more than 5% of the useful information will be 
lost, unless the video is a dance lesson!

Is there any project like that among our chapters?

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
