There are certainly things that need work before I can start up Jeff's Internet Movie Channel and go into competition with HBO, but for the most part, these are solvable if networks decided to do it. The big limitation is there can't be infinite groups -- FIB is only so big and there is no agreeable mechanism for sharing the number that can be made to exist, given current (and foreseeable) routers. Since so many "eyeballs" are sitting on ISPs that also own television networks and other media properties, though, I don't think we will get multicast anytime soon.
Unless (what I assert is) Google's plan to engender muni fiber last-mile really catches fire -- at which point it will become logistically practical for people like Chris Adams to compete with people like Road Runner... and you'll have your end-user transport. Bet me cash Google City will be multicast capable. Cheers -- jra
