No, it is not deployed because of a lack of interest. Lots of people
are interested. We went through all that at BEST ... Except for
Alternet none of the backbones were willing to even contemplate
multicast routing (pim or anything else) because they simply had no
way to manage their network bandwidth (to handle it) *OR* to bill for it.
The situation hasn't changed.
