It's extremely rare that I need to see video of some impersonal event on the web "live". Probably the only situation where that might be useful is for some super critical political or disaster event (9/11, announcement from alien battleship in sky, etc.), and even that is pushing it. Pretty much everything can be canned, "tape delayed", edited, cached, etc. and then time-and-device shifted to fit my schedule and preferences. For live personal video needs, there's always Skype video calls.
