Is it? Was it?

Web is unicast, TV is broadcast... there is no way an ISP will be able to deliver real-time TV content to every individual user at a time they want to watch it. That is why Sky's films on demand is like 30 min intervals to find a middle ground.

Thats also why the idea around moving over to multi-casting as a way around this before the internet grinds to a halt.
