Yes, that had also occurred to me. :) It does cost money though... if even for just additional equipment, tech support and administration, and a separate presentation screen in the rooms. And it's one more thing for the folks who run the meetings to worry about, plan for, deal with, etc. - and that's a real cost too. As far as I can tell it's not the up-front capex costs of a technology that really matter much, it's the recurring opex costs.
