Yes, Tony, but they can't *count the connected users that way*, you see.
There are various ways to do that. Eg. Windows Media Server can log multicast Windows Media Clients.
For my part, as someone who used to run a small edge network, what I wonder is this: is there a multicast repeater daemon of some sort, where I can put it on my edge, and have it catch any source requested by an inside user and re-multicast it to my LAN, so that my uplink isn't loaded by multiple connections?
You might want to take a look at AMT:

Correct. That is exactly the problem AMT is intended to solve. Regards Marshall
