Why? I want to be able to give the presentation from my office (or home across ISDN for that matter), sitting down in front of my workstations, and reading presentation slides from files. The noise problem should be resolved with proper floor control and someone managing it. Of course I'd need to remember to shave if I do it from home.
What would probably help out if this were to happen is to have the funds to effectively host the meeting in a TV studio. Proper lighting, multiple cameras allowing viewers to see slides, speaker, and audience would help make the MBone more usable IMHO. The other (more difficult) problem would be the signal to noise ratio across the net.

When can we start having virtual meetings *just* like that? And avoid travel.
With the price of airfare I second that !
