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.
