You probably can do something like it in Tokyo right now. There are lots of cell phones with cameras built in there. You just press a button and send it as e-mail. Not exactly streaming video, but 1 frame every couple of seconds by 5 people could be done very easily. I saw 10 year old kids playing with the things. They were taking pictures of their noses, and watching their friends on another train send pictures back. It felt like I was living in the dark ages coming back to the US!
