Although I can recall working on a product that delivered satellite multica=
st streams (with each multicast group corresponding to individual TV station=
s) to telco CO's. This enabled the telco to implement multicast at the edge o=
f their networks, where user broadband clients would issue multicast joins o=
nly as far as the CO. If I recall this was implemented with the old Cincinna=
ti Bell telco. I admit there are a lot of CO's and cable head-ends though fo=
r this solution to scale.
