Over the last few years have seen booming demand for online video. Broadband users have access to sites like youtube.com that was made in 2005 and is very popular that Google Inc. bought them for $1.65 billion. Broadband has enabled users to view thousands of videos online at the touch of a button.

Because of the popularity of these services, we have seen is the introduction of Channel 4s like online service 4oD (4 on demand) in 2006 to provide broadband users to see several small programs have been shown recently on Channel 4 in high quality. It also has a movie download section full of as little as £ 1.99.

This year (2007), we see the introduction of BBCs iPlayer, a free service that allows broadband users to view all the programs broadcast in the last 7 days. 4oD as a very rich video quality than youtube.com that will lead to increased demand for bandwidth. IPlayer broadband will allow users to download at broadband speed up to 300Mb per hour.

This has raised concerns because broadband users this can cause an increase in the cost of UK broadband users. Husababishwa also have broadband internet providers such as Tiscali to stand against the BBC, explaining the need to gather certain services network. Upgrade and the Internet may be needed to overcome the cost of broadband service is about a former client. Ofcom, the regulator services, estimated to cost £ 830 million over the next 5 years increases the growth of the network address customer needs and broadband will ultimately pay the bills.

Other broadband service providers said that they would restrict access to services through what is called traffic shaping. This means delaying packets of information sent through the network until congestion has been reduced.

If the iPlayer really takes off the BBC (which is more than possible), then the user experience of broadband internet service is also slow.

In conclusion, it is true that broadband service providers and customers pay for the BBC?
