Yes I had also troubles when I was using DSL with bit rate hovering
around 1Mb/s. However, when I switched to lowest Cable data rate tear
around 3.5 Mb/s to 4 Mb/s I never had problems with Netflix, iTunes or
Skype.

I'm theoretically one of those who has had broadband access for
years. I recently tried a Skype call and was told my bit rate was too
low for video.
Sometimes it's fine; sometimes it's not.
I don't want it to not be fine while I'm watching.
We're not quite there yet.
And, for outside the home, at the Future Zone at IBC last month,
Technische Universität Braunschweig offered one of the most-sensible
distribution plans for putting live mass-appeal programming on mobile
devices, an overlay of a tower-based broadcast over regular LTE cells.
TTFN,
Mark

Who would plan to use over the air reception if you can pick up
more programming streaming on line? According to this article
72.4% US households have broadband access.

Is this something we'll see occurring more often in the future, or
just an anomaly?

*KTUD Vegas TV goes off the air Thursday*
*LAS VEGAS (KSNV & MyNews3) -- *News 3 has learned through a
contracted employee with KTUD Channel 25 -- Cable Ch. 14 -- will
go off the air at midnight Thursday night.
The doors will be closed for good on Friday.
Employees were given the bad news in an afternoon meeting.
Vegas TV was purchased by Greenspun Broadcasting in 2004. Recent
efforts to sell the station for $4 million have failed.
The channel mostly runs syndicated programming such as "Family
Guy" and "Community."
Efforts to contact the Greenspun organization have been
unsuccessful, including a call to Brian Greenspun's cell phone.
KTUD bosses are not talking, either.
