John,

multicast in the BBC network has been around for a few years, they were
testing (IIRC) mostly Real audio streams a few years ago (december 2001
comes to my mind somehow).

As for who runs a multicast enabled network in CH, we (AS20932) have it
enabled both for content from the Internet (peering at various locations
with other multicast enabled networks) and for internal applications within
our network (closed user group Live TV applications & co)

PS: TIX doesn't support multicast over their fabric, I've asked for it a few
times but there appears to be no interest, so currently CIXP is the only
swiss IX that supports it
