that's not quite enough; in the UK we're seeing cable-modem ISPs
attempt to restrict services to those applications, or to a subset of
those applications (lotsa luck setting up an http server or using

and also like AOL's redirecting proxies for out-bound SMTP?
and the port-25 filtering of many ISP's including UUNET?

would pacbell filtering all multicast at all CPE equipemt fall into your
bucket, where do you draw the line?

Multicast _redefines_ IP (or portions of the address space thereof); it
could be argued that a service provider sells 'Internet' without selling
multicast IP.
