Real-time, two-way videoconferencing is just *one* form of video over IP. In some people's eyes, video over IP might involve someone Web-surfing to a site from which they can view Episode 89 of Gilligan's Island (streamed video), possibly with commercials embedded. There are all sorts of possible pricing models here, ranging from flat-rate subscription fees to pay-per-use to commercial-paid, and everything in-between. Lots of possible cache schemes, too.
