13. Umm. Isn’t that like SIP?
The standards group decided no to require a signaling protocol
WebRTC is all about media and leaves signaling to the app
Developers are free to use existing protocols like SIP or roll their own
14. WebRTC Address?

Noone really knows but here’s my guess...
Expect stable Chrome and FireFox in Q1 2013
IE to come soon after (really!)
Safari will lag behind (but not by much)
Watch out for Boot2Gecko (aka Firefox OS)
Experimental WebRTC on Android by next summer?
