Indeed, if the current draft were the only way to do this then all
enterprises would have to pre-arrange things with all WebRTC servers.
IMO that won't work well, if at all.

A signature based scheme could be used in various ways, e.g. to
allow calls that don't consume much b/w regardless but to only
allow calls setup by whitelisted WebRTC servers when those calls
collectively consume a lot of b/w consumption.

The latter sounds like something that's much easier to deploy
to me and seems to meet some real use cases.

I really think the current wg draft is terribly limited in terms
of the kinds of use cases for which it'll work. I hope that the
wg consider those limitations seriously. (Or if you have already
please just point me at the archive/minutes that reflect that
discussion.)
