One thing I do know, If I had the money and know-how, I would make sure all the venues had wireless internet connections with access to the site that would offer many other things that people couldn't get in the service, like background info and study on the messages. Also it would be cool to have a video link to the nursery or childrens church areas if my kids were in them so I wouldn't have to leave my seat.
