If multicast is used it shouldn't take 150pbps, it should be much lower.

That could be one of the things that helps spur v6 adoption - multicast being somewhat less of an afterthought :)

While v4 multicast works, and delivering video is one of the things it can do very well, some networks don't route v4 multicast or exchange v4 multicast prefixes, so its utility on a wide scale can be limited.
