Yes Scott it is beautiful but there is also a 10 minute propagation delay, so if you want to ask questions (aha! it's a one-way medium!) it does not compete with MBONE, alas. :(
A nice idea would be to have MBONE stuff for the live sessions and then rebroadcasts and archives done via Real Video.

I'd settle for one-way. I brought in my notebook today planning to use it to watch nanog...but I'm not getting anywhere. It's running Red Hat, has the real player 5.0beta2, and works well enough to watch Southpark. Earlier today when trying to get either live audio or live video, I'd get an error that the URL was invalid. This afternoon, the URL is valid, real player loads and displays an appropriate title/author/copyright, but then nothing. I get occasional packets every 30s or more from 204.70.11.82:7070.

It was probably associated with all the network problems we had. The Computers in the lab (regardless of whatever gateway we used) were constantly up and down on the net. I don't know if they ever traced down the problem, but it was happening on both t1s far too often. Usually it was just long enough to make SSH timeout and just frequent enough to make it almost impossible to get anything done. But then again, it might have been any number of things...
