I’m not paying anything for local resources with regards to local edge delivery, that’s capital expenditures not MRCs. Our edge networks aren’t unlimited or free, so while it’s not costing me on the transit side there still are cost in terms of upgrades and so on. My point is that In some networks such as docsis conserving edge resources can be helped with multicast.

If I’m doing iptv I’m better off doing multicast which would conserve loads of BW for something popular like the Super Bowl. Especially if I’m doing this over docsis. You pay for 95th percentile. If that is decided by everyone watching Game of Thrones one day, then using the same resources for Super Bowl the next day will be for free.
