In seriousness, if bandwidth providers (ISPs, whoever comes along next to pay for it etc...) provide the pipe and market it to customers well enough, don't you think that these killer apps (YouTube, iPlayer) will grow and multiply to fit the available tech? HD, more channels, wider opportunity for business, advertising and all that other fund providing stuff to come in and use streaming? The better and more capable the platform, the more we can do with it (that's kinda obvious)... I wonder when consumer input tech (videocameras) will become as easy as a mobile phone, to push real SD and HD onto the streaming web. When it becomes that easy, it may not be known as the 'streaming web' or the web at all, it might just be a STB or other easy to use consumer device? Anyway enough straying from doing work and rambling, best get on with some things.
