The real problem I see myself is that *the Mbone has to be pervasive* (or mostly so) for this to be a worthwhile investment for providers.
What is missing is an adaptive client (be it flash, or HTML5) which will transparently use multicast if it's available, and otherwise fall back to unicast. I've discussed this many times with IPTV technology providers. Many have agreed that it's a superb solution, but none have delivered. Delivering multicast to end users is fundamentally not hard. The biggest issue seems to be with residential CPE (pretty much the same problem as IPv6, really). Simon
