There are some financials that do distribute CNN and other channels
around their networks using multicast and as far as I know they do not
pay for it. How did they do it?, they asked permission and the TV
companies allowed it.

I'll bet that if we had CNN, the Weather Channel, and one or two other
TV channels with live feeds available I could get a lot of people
interested on my campus real quick.
