Will be interested to see how they fare in a market with usage caps on fixed broadband.

I suspect they'll drive up ISP revenues just a bit, as people on "smaller" plans upgrade them to accommodate streaming. Of course, the responsibility will be on industry to use said revenues to fund the upgrades that'll be needed to carry the traffic.

Fun times ahead.
