With multicast, if there is a large enough collection of receivers to justify a cache, there will be at most 1*bitrate on any single connection on the internal provider network.
You seem to be basing your calculations on the fact that all of the intended recipients would be capable of receiving native multicast, which I haven't found to be the case..
Well now, *that's* pretty circular reasoning. :) Because multicast isn't widely implemented its not a good solution, and because its not a good solution, it shouldn't be widely implemented.
