What if the agile team does not consist of people able to spend 100% of their time to the team? I understand the concept and see the benefits, but in real life it is very hard to make it happen in a waterfall oriented organization... (which most of the larger organisations still are). For example a simple question on 'integration tests' by IT, is difficult to answer and pulls the initiative towards waterfall...

But an important piece of the Agile puzzle (even before the project begins) is to form a team of folks who have been involved in Agile projects before and understand the territory. Otherwise, there is a risk that an Agile project can revert back into Waterfall.
