I realy think this is a main reason but I'd also have to include inertia. People 
have been setting up conference calls in the traditional manner for years and 
years and years. Its almost second nature. Until you can set something up that 
is perceived to be as easy and reliable as conference calls I think multicast 
won't be utilized in this way. Also, sometimes one of the nice things about 
conference calls is that the other person *can't* see you press the mute button, 
doodle, or make exasperated faces.
