at least anyone within the NTL network if nothing else, thats assuming they dont want to peer with the EU multicasting network or some other Org (because of cost etc).
you can use multicasting today by tunneling into the multicasted ISP's network, such as the 'SURFnet Detective' app people use and run as part of the vast EU network, alas NTL dont seem to care about the inovation, just the cash......

That's quite sad as they are one of the countries biggest ISPs. So there's no we us ntl suers can try out the BBC multicasting trial if ntl don't plan to support it, is there? |
If NTL cannot charge you for it they will not let you have. |
Same as any business. I don't see Sky trialing multicast on Easynet..
