I think you've hit the nail on the head, here. WebRTC is really great for a handful of people. Implementation using some third party was never the difficult part, but scale was and is still a total nightmare.

I'd love to see WebRTC done by a service provider in a highly scalable way, so I can stop relying on RTMP (and typically embedding a flash player to support it) to deliver live streaming audio/video on a large scale.

As someone who has only leveraged WebRTC through third party providers (e.g., OpenTOK, etc.), I have no idea the complexity of what I'm asking for. Perhaps it's boil the ocean difficult, but it sure would be nice to have!
