Not thinking ahead got them to this place. When iPhones debuted, who'd have ever thought that people would be using them to watch feature length films at 1080? Well, someone was working on that at the time, and Verizon, AT&T and the rest just ignored it for the sake of marketing. Now they're sorry, but why take the blame and build out their capacity when they can just throttle the consumer and keep making money.
In 2001, I was working on putting feature length films on phones. Albeit not HD, but that was what we were doing for desktop. It was imminent.
