What would be really awesome (unless I've missed it) is Internet access to the emergency broadcast system and local weather services; all easily handled with multicast.
NWS transmits their NOAAPORT data as a multicast stream from geostationary satellites. All someone has to do (actually it would make more sense if NOAA/NWS did this themselves and bypass the satellites) is to gateway that stuff onto the Internet MBONE. NOAAPORT already has globally-assigned multicast addresses and port numbers reserved for it.
