I think that your assessment needs to be dissected here. You are substituting bandwidth by the use of processing power. I just read a quote from NT's Roth boasting that processing was more expensive than bandwidth. This will be true.

In a way this is a kind of circular thinking, IMO, because compression, a form of processing, was used initially to compensate for situations that were bandwidth starved. And this will be the new legacy benchmark, I guess, because the preponderance of new residential CPE gateways and TV appliances will "not" be built during the short term using parameters that speak to unlimited bandwidth. They will, instead, continue to be built to conform to the model you've outlined, despite their additional cost, and despite the abundance of bandwidth that will be available in some regions before long, anyway.
