The unprecedented sensitivity, broad frequency coverage, and unique location of ALMA will have the potential to transform the science that can be done with mm-VLBI. With expected spatial resolutions as low as some microarcseconds at the highest frequencies and mJy sensitivities at the lower frequencies, quite a range of high-profile experiments should be possible. The science that can be addressed ranges from the precise astrometry and study of stellar masers down to observations of jets and the event horizon of supermassive black holes.
