other than billing problem, is there any other reasons why multicast
would not be viable for public internet ? 

Two other significant contributing factors stem from complexity and
security issues.

Here are some references I'm familiar with:

  <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog35/presentations/kristoff.pdf>
  <https://www.cymru.com/jtk/tmp/secure-junos-mcast.html>

The last link was briefly maintained on Team Cymru's production template
section, but it looks it is now gone and like this is the last copy of
it I had before it was published a few years ago.
