WebRTC Change Communications Forever

" summary

WebRTC claims native peer-to-peer audio/video/data in the browser using getUserMedia, RTCPeerConnection and RTC data channel, with ICE/STUN/TURN for NAT traversal and no built‑in signaling. Tools shown include SimpleWebRTC, talky.io and Twilio Client; a Sinatra demo places a browser call to a PSTN number (Twilio phone number ≈ $1) and works. Chrome and Firefox support it now, iOS/IE lag, mesh video hits practical limits at about three to four peers, and experiments like peer distributed CDN and bittorrent in the browser are already underway.
