Short Summary:

Can multicast be the remedy to cope with the spiraling bandwidth requirements?

What is clear from this article is that Multicast needs to be rolled out to the edge for video to scale on the internet. The adoption of multicast on the one hand, and the use of Multicast-to-Storage on the other, will enable the delivery of video without breaking the ISPs business model. The streaming of live TV seems like solving the problem of the past - the early adopters who use their PC for video are part of the digital generation for whom appointment TV and linear TV are irrelevant, just as a young consumer with a cell phone has no need for a land line at home, so does the new TV consumer have no need for linear TV (Sports and news excluded).
