Hey, if you guys haven't seen this yet (and I apologize if you have) check out http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2005-04-05-speed-usat_x.htm
If one were to draw an inference or three, bandwidth limitations would cease to be an issue if HD programming was available on-demand. You'd only be clogging the "pipe" so-to-speak with one program at a time, rather than trying to cram the whole works through at once. If they were to agree, networks and other content providers could offer completely non-linear versions of their programming. Increased narrow-casting could give anyone what they're looking for, all in spectacular, full-bandwidth HD.
Sweet.
