An excellent question. In light of the absence, which you note, of any kind of multicast routing to/from residential networks, it seems to me that service provider edge routers are-- in actual practice-- global multicast zone boundaries today. But that need not always be the case. Call me a dreamer, but I'm not willing to stand up and recommend that we brick up the residential side of the first-mile multicast link just yet.

I'm really not sure why people seem to think that subscribers ought to be lumped into the same organizational zone as their service provider. I must need to be educated about operational considerations again.
