Well, it could be done based on microtransactions. To set up your mcast tree you need to pay. The slots are auctioned off every X minutes on a DAG-chain-block-thing.

No need to over-complicate things. You can sell them on a monthly/yearly basis just like phone numbers. That's not the hard part.

Sure, but that means if you want to do a live broadcast something right now, you can't just allocate a slot for the next hours.
