if your customers pay flat rate and you can deliver them the same or better
service at less cost to you, isn't this at least some incentive?
(perhaps not enough to overcome your costs?)
if your customers pay per megabyte and they can get better service at
less cost by using multicast, isn't this also an incentive of a different
sort?

indeed, lack of content is a problem. multicast won't fly unless/until
there is content available through it that lots of people want to get.
IETF meetings are great for me but they have a limited audience overall.
