Other economic factors beyond jamming will drive this progress, so we just need to be ready for it.
I think the simpler answer is all the sessions need buffering at each end point, but it will take very fast processing to ensure the playback from the buffer is synced with all the other sessions, so distribution that function is the other challenge. They can do it with talking and video, but we can tolerate a little lag here and there, not really the same with group jamming.
I would think in a few years virtual jamming over the internet will become "normalized".
