A little OT, but I see that the Inauguration may also be available on Ustream and the iPhone/iPod Touch

It makes me wonder why the commercial services and commodity network providers have not started using multicast more in high demand areas of video delivery.
Does it not make sense that it is a heck of a lot more efficient to stream one stream, than thousands or millions?

Is multicast becoming more popular on sections of the public internet?
If not, why not? What is holding it back?
Just wondering.
