Multicast
in the Internet is an all-or-nothing solution
Even
Mcast-aware content owners must provide unicast streams to gain
audience size
Unicast
will never scale
Splitters/Caches just distribute the
problem
Still has a cost-per-user
As receiver BW increases, problem gets
worse.
Creates a non-functional business
model
Will never bring ~real content to
IP.
Must
provide a multicast-only solution for content owners; but
how??
