Recently I have joined a few web casts. I find this is a convenient way of listening presentation. Someone from a remote site hosts a presentation, I logon the web cast network, then I can see the presentation online dynamically. Sometimes they use WebEx and sometimes MS Live Meeting. For listening the talk, I use telephone conference call function. The sound quality is still much better using the phone.When not asking question, I put mute on my phone. Then I can do other stuff on my desk and no one knows. If I want to take a break, I can just leave for a drink or restroom. No one cares. For knowledge learning, web cast is almost as efficient as listening presentation in person. The only problem, presentation is sometimes boring. Without people watching, I felt asleep a couple times during those web casts.

webcast works well if it is short and precise. sometimes they put several topics or demos into one webcast. it becomes too long and it lacks detail. the recorded webcast is also without live Q&A. And as you said, you don't have much incentive to finish it because it is really up to you when to start and end. webcast is a nice technology but it still can't be a direct substitution of personal interaction yet.
I heard some church has worship web cast. I just wonder how they collect tithe (奉献)? Paypal ... !?
