My apologies for disagreeing. I'll just blame it on the fever.

I still do not think MBONE and MBONE applications are a mature technology nor
do I think there currently exists the business incentive to develop them
fully.

This does not mean that I feel MBONE technology is a waste or stupid or
useless only that it is not a serious competitor in most markets. If someone
is planning on charging for MBONE services *and* expects to make any profit
off of it they better have a good way to convince people to install vic and
vat or other multicast aware software (eg. get microsoft or real networks to
include support for it in their next version of their network media foo (or in
the channels or whatever)). However, please prove me wrong. Show me it is a
serious competitor. I would rather that it was and that I am misinformed.
