To my knowledge in the United States host ISP will charge a small premium (say 50%) for specific bandwidth from routers which are enabled to inject multicast - consumers of multicast pay normal rates for their data (This may range from FOC local national international). In New Zealand we need to get to first base... as a media service provider I need to be able to not be gouged by being required to unicast... I want to deliver a single stream of data to a single or limited number of router(s)... I don't want to alienate or disincentivise Telecom... They need to want to turn this ON... Alternatively, something similar to the Gaming Network could be set up... Best regards Michael

Wonder if Telecom could be persuaded not to charge for multicast traffic on Jetstream...?
