I'll be the first to jump on the multicast bandwagon, but I don't work for an eyeball provider. The first adopters need to be DSL and cable modem providers, to the end user, on by default. Then we can go somewhere.
And when approached they'll claim that it'll melt their infrastructure - and they'll be right in a lot of cases. PPPoE and multicast still causes a traffic explosion that multicast was supposed to remove. When I was employed by a company deploying FTTH our vendor was working on a hack they named "multicast VLAN" to avoid a similar situation. No idea if they ever finished it (they weren't too keen with making deadlines, in my admittedly short-lived experience). -- Niels.
