I recall a discussion on NANOG (IIRC) many years ago where people were discussing the problems of routing multicast, and someone (Randy Bush, again IIRC) basically said, "Who cares? Don't bother. Shut up and sell more bandwidth." I think that, in essence, sums up why multicast doesn't work. (Yes, I realize there are many other factors that go into it, but I think this is a big one.)
