I don't know where "4x the bitrate" comes from. The Post said we have 4x the detail, but that was inaccurate: 1280x720 is *twelve*, not four times the image detail. Further, 12x the number of pixels does not mean 12x the bitrate. BUT. The bottom line is that low quality web video is far from pushing the limits of a normal high-speed internet connection. So our HD actually plays almost instantly on many connections. And btw: by definition, you can reduce almost any new technology to "a gimmick". The numbers are off.
