<div>My friend needs to broadcast an event live for 150000 viewers. Unicast broadcasting requires tremendous bandwidth and hence - money. Thus he asked me to check multicast option.</div>
</blockquote><div><br>Half an year ago it was not an option. It is still not.<br><br>But BBC at UK started pushing ISPs into the right direction:<br><br>From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast</a> :<br>
<br><i>Recently the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC" title="BBC" target="_blank">BBC</a> has begun encouraging UK-based <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISPs" title="ISPs" target="_blank">ISPs</a> to adopt Multicast onto their networks by <a href="http://bbc.co.uk/multicast/" title="http://bbc.co.uk/multicast/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">providing BBC Radio at higher quality</a> than is available via their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicast" title="Unicast" target="_blank">Unicast</a> delivered services.</i><br>
<br>They provide notable service at <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/multicast/" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/multicast/</a> that (besides practical usefullness) allows easy check whether your ISP (in UK) is multicast-capable.<br>
<br>
Is there similar multicast checking service in Israel?<br><br>Which ISPs are known to support the multicast?<br></div></div><br>-- <br>Arie<br><br>
