I'm more than happy to replicate them closer to my subscribers on behalf of the content publishers. How we do this is the question, i.e. what form the "multi"-"casting" takes. It would be nice if we could take advantage of an inherent design of IP and the hardware it runs on, to duplicate the actual packets in-flow as near as is required to the destination. Installing L7 content delivery boxes or caches is OK, but doesn't seem as efficient as an overall technical solution.As an overall technical solution Internet scale multicast simply does not work today. If it did work, then our next hurdle would be, how to get tier1 to play ball, they get money on bits transported, it's not in their best interested to reduce that amount.
Any eyeball network that wants to support multicast should peer with the content players(s) that support it. Simple!
Just another reason to make the transit only networks even more irrelevant.
