Good idea.
I think hijacking of user's upload bandwidth can be done by "conventional" methods and server-client api's today, Web-RTC doesn't bring any additional risk here. Just the idea that it is actually useful to leverage user's uplink.

There's no time like the present to roll back the presumption of consuming non-producers (who only need 56kbps upstream) as second class netizens.
