To follow through some thinking here...
If that device was "Billing-Server-Package-Aware" then you could offer a
higher level of service for HD customers that allowed the Netflix
service to sense a "higher-bandwidth" connection and it may be more
likely to stream in HD than SD. I say "offer"...the flip side of
"offer" is "charge for", at a higher rate, of course.
There are always those who "gotta have it"...

Has anybody worked on allowing streaming video up to lets say 10
Mb total transfer, then knocking THAT stream down to a slow rate?
I tried something like that a while back - we got so very many angry
phone calls that the boss had us discontinue it in less than a week.
We actually didn't try to limit by video type, just "any single
ongoing TCP transaction," but in practice it only affected audio and
video streaming, Microsoft Update, and MMO patches.
I'm sure someone out there would be glad to sell you a content-aware
filtering device for many thousands of dollars, if you're so inclined.
