Another disturbing fact inside this entire mess is that, by compressing
HD content, consumers are noticing the degradation in quality:

So, we have a "Tragedy of The Commons" situation that is completely
created by the telcos themselves trying to force consumer decisions,
and then failing to deliver, but bemoaning the fact that
infrastructure is being over-utilized by file-sharers (or
"Exafloods" or whatever the apocalyptic issue of the day is for
telcos).
A real Charlie Foxtrot.
