Comment on Ask HN: Why is it good if media companies lower streaming quality?parent

Comments

Bandwidth is not only a bottleneck but also a resource that most company has to pay for.

Also to ensure better streaming quality and availability, the media files have to move to server closer to the client region, depending on trending demands and timezone usage to avoid bottleneck at the delivery stage. Storage is also not a free resource (or server renting space)
