You aren't disagreeing with parent, who said that the 2-3B users don't have HD-capable connections. The parent is saying that the industry should try delivering SD-quality video before hand-waving about near-infinitely compressible HD-video. For example, one solution for low-bandwidth environments is to edge-cache it (farther toward the real edge than "local ISP") and then spread it locally via peer-to-peer short-distance radio (wifi, bluetooth, local cellular). This is not a 100x data compression challenge; it's a local delivery infrastructure challenge.
