George, 
Have you had a look at some of the codec choices in RAT and VIC? 

I haven't done much with video, but we've used the low-rate audio codecs in RAT quite successfully, down to about 40kbps. 

Cheers, Andrew.

Hello, 

 Is anyone out there looking at video and audio codecs that use less bandwidth than the current AG codecs? 
I know it's not as glamorous a topic as HD codecs but there's a large potential AG community out there that only has maybe a T1 connection. 
 One of our PI's has expressed interest in providing some funds toward developing a "low bandwidth AG". 

Thanks, 
George
