Ooh... reminds me of a throwaway experiment I did a few years back - WebRTC for radio outside broadcasts. It never went far as we ended up going down the SIP path instead. Nice to see the idea going further though there are commerical products now that work on this basis (IPDTL is one that rings a bell).

Both approaches were a great improvment over the need for an ISDN line but you could run into problems running higher bitrates on "spotty" networks. Thankfully you didn't need more than 128/192kbps for broadcast quality most of the time and could get away with even less for voice.
