The BBC wants to add HD to it's iPlayer broadband TV service, which won't go down very well with some ISP's.

Many ISP's including Tiscali and TalkTalk had previously expressed concern that the service would affect the amount of bandwidth that users consume, and called on a tax to offset their costs. Having a HD service is likely to increase their worries, but looking at the wider picture should calm their fears.

Many broadband connections in the UK would struggle to provide a decent non-HD service, and as discussions have only stated on the UK's fibre plans it would be a few years in the future before then need to start worrying.
