I, Cringely : The $7 TV Network

"Neither our PCs nor the Internet were ready for multicasting in 1997, but today they are, the trick being to somehow enable an efficient multicast-type experience without turning on multicast support in the routers, where multicasting remains switched off.

Enter Neokast, the brainchild of a PhD candidate from Northwestern University, Stefan Birrer. Neokast uses peer-to-peer technology to effectively emulate a multicast experience."
