I'm curious to know how they are planning on doing this from a technical standpoint. I can understand them throttling video streaming for their own services (such as the U-Verse app), but to do it for other services? I also can't imagine that the processing power required to do this on-the-fly is trivial.

After reading a little more, it looks like they're capping any video streams they can detect on their network at 1.5Mbps, and not attempting to re-encode anything.

They'll probably copy how T-Mobile does it.
