Obscure Mad Scientists Plot to Stream 3-D Video Over the "Public" Internet

Most recent activity:

Hours ago, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg announced that abandoning the Internet for managed services was necessary to provide new services like the streaming of 3-D video.  Of course, this is the same type of argument that people made for every about-to-be-here application before, like VOIP, streaming video, and gaming.

So, is it possible to stream 3-D video over the (non-managed services) Internet?  Those crazy kids over at NVIDIA and Microsoft seem to think so.  To be fair to Mr. Seidenberg, this was only the first result I got after typing "stream 3d video" into his new partner's signature product.
