Raises hand as someone who'd be willing to pay a virtual attendance fee.
I've tried several times to suggest a virtual attendance fee for IETF meetings as well. There seems to be significant resistance to the concept in that group, perhaps NANOG will be more receptive?I'd pony up some $$$ to virtually attend it if it were reliable. Seems a lot less reliable this time around.
For the fee, I'd expect some sort of a back-channel as well (IRC channel, email address or something so that folks who're attending virtually can ask questions of the presenter).
