Re: Speaking of caps..

said by MarkHofmann :

It is interesting how Comcast released their official cap limits one month before the Xbox360's ability to stream movies and HD content from Netflix.

Very interesting..

Can anyone say "AntiTrust"?????
I can say it, but with fewer and fewer providers it's the screaming man in the forrest thing.

Netflix offers (for the time being) unlimited streaming on about, what, 10-15% of their content? And you can do it with your PC or an Xbox or that $99 box they sell (another company makes it). Add Apple TV and PPV is under heavy fire. Sure, I don't get the newest stuff from instant netflix, but I get something other than garbage TV, and I need bandwidth to do it. Imagine watching an hour or two every night of streaming content. I could go web-only in no time: news from the web and stream my entertainment. Cable TV goes buh-bye once the stream quality improves. But that's when Comcast (and the like) become the stick in the spokes ... watch it and weep; there's no way these providers are going to let 'flix and the others stream for nothing.

Non-native content will either be labeled and capped as such (mo money) or tiered caps will become part of the sub model along with speeds.
