of course this new setup will save bandwidth for providers in the long run.

when these paid services launch, people will want their downstream saturated – hence the datacenter – even if the download is new. the BT load sharing will be realized as consumers upload as well (probably using proprietary Warner-branded clients set to start up with windows and share 1:1)

Wow, sounds like BitTorrent Inc. is getting serious about becoming a player in online media distribution. The deal with Warner pretty much guarantees their survival.
