Maybe in a few years it will get good enough, but until then, I'm afraid the webcasts will look a lot like this video:

^ This. If we were broadcasting at 720p h.264, then I'd be all for more full-field shots (though a few close-ups should be intermingled).

Though, can you honestly say that you'd be more excited (as a non-participant spectator) watching this huge field, compared to a more athletics-like close-up mix? It's hard enough trying to get people excited for FIRST, showing them this field for 2 minutes is hardly the way to get them into it.
