Well, I'd say that's mildly debatable - VoIP companies chew a lot of bandwidth on the net, and it's almost all going to the PSTN - though it's not in browsers generally. Skype completes a lot of on-net calls - but they make a lot of money (almost all?) from PSTN calls. That said, I don't consider the Skypes of the world a problem here - they can and will roll their own. Same for PBX vendors I suppose, though they'll try to leverage more existing examples. I think there will be a lot of small-to-medium users adding chat, building games, etc, who care little or not at all about the PSTN. Those are the ones who I worry about; they wouldn't realize there are issues with glare (totally ignoring PSTN) or that forking can be complex. They want a simple, one-stop-shopping solution for adding voice/video/data to their sites and games, etc. Yes, people will build JS apps to provide that. I'm worried about the quality of those apps, and that the likely model will be the author downloads a random version when they develop their service, and they never update it. This is a real problem; it is a real problem today with other JS modules. Does this mean we *have* to bake in some sort of signalling? No, it doesn't. It is an _argument_ for providing some type of signalling as a baseline default; or if not, then for starting a project to provide that. Note that I said "baseline". I did *not* say "can handle all the intricacies of the PSTN well". It could be something far simpler than SIP or XMPP, etc, or it could be a very dumbed-down version of one. These small users (as noted) need something to provide the basics, and to handle certain complexities that simply arise from normal usage patterns and features (like forking). Being able to access the PSTN at all using this would be a plus - but it would not be critical in my mind. And, as I mentioned, it could be external JS - but then it has be more solid to start with. For these simple uses - say chat with other users on someones special-interest website, 2 and multiplayer gaming, etc - we should try to pull together the minimum things any app/service developer would need to be prepared for. I think any service that allows someone to log in from multiple devices has to handle forking in some manner. Glare is always possible. What else? I'd like to see simple conferencing. Perhaps the minimum is simple enough that it makes more sense to develop a new, very simple signalling JS module, and use it in examples. This would limit the downside from not updating. The advantage of basing it on something known is that the basics of all these protocols are well-understood. I'll paraphrase Harald (and many others in other contexts): make simple things simple, make complex things possible. > > Yes, this is critical. We need to finish it.
