However I don't know how wide the "reach" of Internet multicast is, in

Some broadband ISPs (at least here in Europe, but probably elsewhere
as well) have started to distribute TV-over-ADSL using IP multicast.
But I'm not sure whether they also provide their users with multicast
connectivity to the rest of the Internet.  Anyone knows?

By-in-large they are not interested in the interdomain case. There has been a substantial investment in similar rollouts among asian broadband isps...
