You'd want to budget for webcams and mics and soundcards and stuff.  I
can't remember WebTV's specs as far as carrying browser plugins or on
how to do voicetel or imagetel using WebTV.  It's a Microsoft company,
and they _do_ have certain community outreach/education programs.
There'd be some further technology that you'd need past the WebTV box,
though, plus bandwidthing communities; I don't think that WebTV
currently runs off cable does it?  Isn't it still phone-based?  There's
a big convergence if similar techologies coming; I think if you busy
yourselves with the organization and the scripts etc. an ideal TV-based
2-way/broadcast technology for the Net will come along in a few
months......
