I don't see how multicast necasarily solves the netflix on-demand video problem. you have millions of users streaming different content at different times. multicast is great for the world cup but how does it solve the video on demand problem? I suppose in theory if you have tivo-like devices at the endpoints then
they can capture popular programs at the time of multicast for later viewing. Whether this is better than capturing the same programs over a broadcast medium for later playback, I don't know...
