It requires the cooperation of the NASA DSN (Deep Space Network).
The DSN, at least based on the information that one can obtain from websites -- probably is the most paranoid and desiring change of all of the parts of NASA.
When it comes to disclosing telemetry information to the general public, the DSN at best could get an F (1.0/4.0).

Voyager programme telemetry: available but delayed by up to 2 months.
Mars Explorer (name?): available, but tucked away in an obscure location.

All other missions (excluding Earth Missions): no telemetry [that I have been able to find].

I have already faxed the DC contact number, but I suspect that fax number is a black hole for most good ideas...
If I were related to some US Senator that had control over some of NASA's budget -- yes, my idea may be paid attention to.

    Are you suggesting this good idea is that NASA get more funding to make it all available in real time on the web? Other than the hold time for researchers to get first look at the material I would be very surprised if that has not been in the budget every year for the last 15.
