To finish we have New Netflix Partner Halves Internet Bandwidth Without Cutting Quality from techland.time.com, focussing on Netflix. The wrote some good stuff, particularly

But if you're concerned that decreasing bandwidth means decreasing quality, ask yourself if you've seen any drop in Netflix's streaming quality recently - testing began months ago

The issue of reducing bandwidth is a serious one for Netflix as it continues to launch its service internationally. PaidContent points out that current caps in some of the lower-priced internet service plans in Canada would make streaming one high-definition movie from Netflix come perilously close to using up an entire month's worth of bandwidth. Lower bandwidth in markets such as Latin America making the problem even more pressing.
