A good example of (growing!) corner-case wide-area multicast is real-time remote sensor networking, although that does not tend to natively cross ISPs due to the breakage previously identified. The traffic flows there are basically backwards from the IPTV / video flows, so they don't contribute bandwidth problems nearly as much as they do (s,g) state problems.
