Isn't the real problem with global multicast: "How do we ultimately bill the broadcaster for all that traffic amplification that happened *inside* every other AS?" It seems like you'd have to do per-packet accounting at every router, and coordinate billing/reporting amongst all providers that saw those packets.
Broadcast encrypted streams. Unicast the key distribution, allowing interested parties to count, bill, block, allow, litigate, agree... Rubens
