ISPs are not supporting multicast over the public internet.

They will if it becomes a standard way of broadcasting. They will save quite a bit of network load.
The tech has been standardized as IPTV, and it sees a fair bit of use. But not over the public internet (for one, because ISPs don't support it...)
