Re: two OC3s and a microphone...

Well I don't think multicasting is dead, as many companies are just beginning to recognize the substantial benefits in bandwidth utilization that can be had, and in fact a lot of work is currently being done to scale this technology so that it can run better on the Internet. But it still has a little ways to go and like you said new financial/business models will need to be drawn up before carriers will want to offer it.
