This does demonstrate, though, what it would mean if Internet-delivered TV were to become the norm. HDTV would demand, on average, just about that 5.5 GB/hr, and that would be on a continuing basis, from many households in your neighborhood simultaneously, and that demand would not be spread out over a 24 hour period, but rather bunched up during certain hours only. Imagine what Internet TV would do to those monthly download estimates.


Probably increase them...

Then again, the average MVPD customer is consuming at least this much bandwidth today, albeit via a very broad band infrastructure (500 MHz of the same stuff to every home).

Looks more like a change in topology than a significant difference in bandwidth...
