From Wikipedia's multicast entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast
"No mechanism has yet been demonstrated that would allow the IP
multicast model to scale to millions of senders and millions of
multicast groups and, thus, it is not yet possible to make
fully-general multicast applications practical. For these reasons,
and also reasons of economics, IP multicast is not in general use in
the commercial Internet."
Somebody needs to update the entry. The end result is essentially
correct. But the reasons that this is not happening are purely
political, given the reality that cable and the telcos control the
market for broadband and DO NOT want to kill the subscription TV PIG.

Craig
