The regulatory killing of that was probably unrelated to implementation.
Demonstrating that the Mobile TV packets traveled in exactly the same way as any other packets over the Bell Mobility network was a large part of the decision. When packets travel undifferentiated on the same pipe, then it is not justified that one packet be treated differently than the other one. This is quite different from Bell Canada's wireline TV service where multicast is used and on a separate VLAN with dedicated capacity which means that TV packets don't cause congestion on data packets and vice versa. This is why understanding of how some marketing tactic is implemented at the network level is important.
