as i said earlier, for intranet use, ip multicast is all the rage for video
content. i'm fairly sure it was in use at my hotel in cairo last week, and
i know it's been deployed in a number of "digital television" networks in
asia. it's internet multicast (idmr) that never happened, and as far as i
can tell, that's because there's no billing or business model for it.
