Stan, Forsooth! The tenor of your words would suggest that there is something exclusionary going on here. I don't know if I would stretch it to the realm of human rights, exactly, but there is a following who would agree with you, to be sure.
In fairness, though, are the issues which are discussed at such gatherings of investors subject to the same rules of democratic exposure and scrutiny as those which are presented at the IETF, or (presumably.. but don't bet on it) the ITU? I don't think so.
But I do to some extent share your sentiments with regards to access and I agree that a fee based "live" or near-real time spooled airing would be attractive to both investors, and networkologists, alike.
The next topic I should like to discuss is the leverage which is only attainable through the use of real-time wireless trade execution by those who sit in live attendance, as opposed to the disadvantages imposed on those who must endure the 30-second latencies which are unavoidably inherent in the n-rt spooling process.
Reading further down the syllabus, we could also discuss the subtle body language and facial gesturing implications that could only be evaluated by the "haves" versus the have nots (it gets relegated to a matter of degree at some point), due to the need for high resolution reception that could only be achieved through full T3 delivery schemes to the end user. Anyone up for lip reading the comments from waiting panelists, or from those sitting in the audience? smile
