Hi Ram

33kbps is nowhere near enough. I was recently speaking to a doctor looking
at telemedicine needs and he reckoned that to deliver an optimal service
20Mbps was required. However, there are ways to deliver services such as
video conferencing and webcasts over much lower bandwidths if the right
codecs etc are used. 33kbps isn't really enough even to deliver good voice
eg VoIP etc.
