That medium only works for large audiences. It does not address 
geographically
large sparse audiences at all.

Live events and interactive show's are not. In some cases you start to 
suffer if your
latency goes to multiple-seconds range. That's quite rare anyway, >500ms
network latency is quite rare and add few hundred codec and de-jitter 
latency and
you'll find that excessive jitter is your enemy, not the latency itself.
