When people are following good microphone protocol and we're not having technical issues, the incoming audio tends to be fine - if delayed.  The bigger issue is we need a better way to get comments *out*.

Watching some of the older techs for voice messaging or even some of the newer ones, e.g. the Apple IOS one, I sometimes wonder if the better answer is to allow something similar for remote participation.  The latency on such things vs. in-room respondents is the biggest challenge as you have to both accommodate and to moderate the time-delayed relays.
