"And here you were thinking it was the network operator's job to fund capacity upgrades in order to meet consumer demand...."

Well, it's NOT. If they don't want to upgrade to meet "consumer demands", that's their business.
Perhaps I misunderstood your post, but if I am a network operator and my customers are not getting what they pay for, how is it not my responsibility? The BBC should not be responsible for helping build infrastructure; it's not their infrastructure. Should I pay the power company extra because of summer brownouts? If the network can't handle demand, then the network operator should step up and improve their service, otherwise they should restrict service and charge a premium for those who want it. Besides, I'm sure that whoever the BBC is paying to host all that content probably isn't complaining - I can guarantee they're paying out the wazoooooo!
