Probably enough of us.

I agree that SIP conferencing doesn't work perfectly, but POTS
conferencing, even rather high priced POTS conferencing, is often
pretty bad, particularly when people are on cell phones or calls over
other noisy or slow links.  It's certainly worth a few experiments to
see if a $0 conference is really worse than a $1000 conference.
