At the moment, it appears that the content providers are getting that bandwidth free, so there is no cost to them or to us. I assume they are working within the limits set, but when these are in danger of being exceeded, I dare say there will be some conversations about who will pay for the extra capacity. At that point, we will pay extra one way or another, either by higher broadband fees or higher streamer charges.
