Agreed on everything, minus the multicast stipulation. The streams could also

Looks like at least some ISPs are already talking along those lines. I see that
4K TV content distribution is being ballyhooed at CES these days. And that use
of the Internet, for this, is claimed to be the most likely method of
deployment. IMO, that's what it's going to take.
