[Battlemesh] teleconferencing systems

[Pedro]

It also depends where are that 40 simultaneous participants

I tried one-to-one jitsi conversation from Europe to southamerican
country and it was horrible. Then we switched to skype or cisco webex
and it was wonderful.

It's not just the software technology, also, the network infrastructure
around it and how neutral it is.

Theoretically, inside Europe, communications are neutral [1]. Outside
Europe of course not.

At least in Barcelona, we have a lot of optical fibers to choose and it
is incredible to see such big latencies you can find between ISPs (for
example: around 30ms, when you can make it to be 10 ms, 2 ms).

By the way, can you REALLY manage a meeting with 40+ participants that
way? Can you explain how does work that kind of meetings? Because if
there are 50 participants but only 4-5 of them speak. Then you can have
that 4-5 jitsi meeting and a streaming for the rest (with a chat channel
for extra communication?) or maybe only inviting the people that is
willing to say something. Or maybe calling some of them to say something
(like the radio did in the past)

Cheers,
Pedro
