The problem is that content providers have gone with a 1:1 service through ip rather than a 1:many service using multicast. If content providers and network managers actually thought about the problem they could come up with a manageable solution. Network operators are just trying to extort money rather than address the problems in a sensible manner. -- Mac Chatter »www.macchatter.net

I agree that multicasting can solve problems, but in this particular case: quote: that lets broadband users watch content from the last 7 days of BBC broadcasting It sounds like the service is a video on demand type service that multicast wouldn't help with.

What is actually needed here is something like Akamai, where the content is cached on the provider's local networks and it reduces the overall transport bandwidth needed. -- Prove it... Save the Internet Time (NTP) service, use the pool.
