In order to scale this up to where everyone is watching HDTV over the Internet,
ISPs will have to strategically distribute many TV content servers throughout
their local networks. More so than today. The major portals you list are not
the answer.
This distribution of servers is needed to keep the gozillion separate high
bandwidth streams from going very far upstream into the ISP networks. Because
I'm betting that a lot of Internet TV watching will be on demand, meaning each
household will create its own set of high bandwidth streams.
CDNs could take on this expanded role, or someone else could do so, in
principle at least. And I'm sure the ISPs are also improving the capacity of
their core networks, to try to keep this distributed server capacity under
control. So I don't know exactly how all of this will play out.
