Not bandwidth. Data usage.
Think of the latest Sony PSP-GO.
No longer uses a disc.
Product is downloaded from the PlayStation Network either directly to the PSP-GO or to a PS3 then transferred.
If a high data service Like PSN is placed into a premium tier then you'll effectively be paying a download tax for the product.
Or think of it this way.
You use Netflix and rather than having discs mailed to you, you stream them to your gaming console or PC.
Next time you go to grab a movie a box pops up telling you that you need to pay $xx.xx more per month to access Netflix via your cable providers network.
