DBS subscribers are doing the heavy lifting of TV via satellite. No
doubt some are also subscribed to Netflix, and may use other OTT
services. But we are talking about turning off the MVPD streams and
moving everyone to the Internet.
Yes, most of these DBS homes are already connected to broadband, and the
broadband they are connected to, even if just DSL, can be improved quickly.
We've already gone around in circles about how cable or FiOS broadband can be
improved by repurposing spectrum.
Netflix SuperHD uses 6 Mbps. Sports needs a lot more.
Not in my home it doesn't. To me, 6 Mb/s would be very satisfactory now. And
many homes similar to mine. Less than half of US homes are sports addicts,
Craig. And even for those, sports such as golf don't need lots of bit rate.
