I've discussed the idea of controlling a ROV via a network with some
networking experts.   They had no idea what a ROV might be, but once
the idea was explained to them, they were intrigued.  

There seems to be not technical reason it can't be done.  It's just that,
so far, apparently, the controls have been dedicated and simpler than
that.

But the idea of being able to log onto a web site to watch through the 
camera is fascinating.
