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.
