Don�t know if this would be approvable for government > subsidies though. But multicast HAS happened, but mostly in the enterprise. Interdomain multicast is still unusual outside the R&E community. R&E nets like Abilene, vBNS, and ESnet make heavy use of interdomain multicast, especially for the Access Grid (http://www.accessgrid.org). While the Access Grid tends to be mostly R&E, there are a number of commercial providers supporting it and interdomain multicast. I do not believe that the Access Grid has yet been used for pr0n, but is is largely government subsidized. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
