re: "(Note: It's difficult understand why we have players pleading capacity constraints while at the same time, they seek to further burden their networks with video.)"

Or for that matter, singing the wonders of Hi-Def video as if everyone "must have" it, while at the same time trying to start another new market at the opposite end of the spectrum (mobile TV on a handheld).

That article from The Register (I just skimmed it) takes an odd approach to making its case re: internet video. Today we have blurry 4" video windows (though generally less jerky/choppy than the norm a few years ago), generally in the 5 minute duration area. The article jumps all the way to streaming HD video 1080i, 2 hour movies.

I don't even know why the case is being made for that (maybe because it doesn't sound "sensationalized" enough to deal with a more likely, more incremental next step of standard def, maybe increasing the duration, and many of them downloaded not streamed. It will be many iterations (i.e. many years) of internet video incremental growth before streaming 1080i is the norm. More likely that 1080i will be relegated to the walled gardens of the incumbents for eternity, and they'll use every excuse in the book to make internet HD a pipe dream. Who knows, maybe it really is, from a business perspective.
