<div>The end user likely won't notice the difference between 4k

<div>Yes, Netflix video is very efficient, if not the most
efficient. They're also one of if not the largest slingers of
bits on the Internet. Small changes in usage of such a huge
player totally eclipse most other usages on the Internet.</div>

Considering that the telecoms sector is one of the most traveled
group of professional people around the world, on a 12-month basis,
that would mean all the meetings we hold, each week, somewhere in

it's all reduced to this.<br>

Don't let your Finance departments read this thread - they'll just
cut your travel budgets :-).<br>
