Noting that we mostly do not support this currently. One can certainly
do jabber and streamed mp3 over a 3G connection using either a
smartphone or a laptop+tether/laptop+3G.stick.
I'm relatively unconvinced we will get anything interactive useful for
voice over 3G latencies. Perhaps if the application captured the voice
comment, and then reliably transmitted it to the chair, who would then
play it (because the chair was maintaining a virtual mic-line, but
participants could make their comment at any time), it would work.
Maybe LTE solves everything for your use cases, but I think for many
people in many places, it's gonna be a PSTN bridge to get that
interactive voice.
