You make completely valid points and certainly the company I work for 
does put money back into certain open source projects, even if it is not 
always with pure cash.

What I am involved with is just to see if VideoLAN can be used in a pure 
demo system. As I am sure you are well aware, that however good VideoLAN 
is(and I am very impressed after streaming DVD's between some linux 
boxes), for a Telecom grade platform much more things need to be 
considered in putting together such a solution.

Of almost greater concern however, is the ongoing patent discussion in 
the EU.
