YouTube is using the muscle of Google to up the ante in the online video wars, rolling out 1080P HD Streaming next week for qualified content.
We’re excited to say that support for watching 1080p HD videos in full resolution is on its way. Starting next week, YouTube's HD mode will add support for viewing videos in 720p or 1080p, depending on the resolution of the original source, up from our maximum output of 720p today.
As resolution of consumer cameras increases, we want to make sure YouTube is the best home on the web to showcase your content. For viewers with big monitors and a fast computer, try switching to 1080p to get the most out of the fullscreen experience.
No word on how well this will work and what kind of bandwidth will be required. Perhaps now is a good time to reconsider your position in the Net Neutrality fight and visit SaveTheInternet.com ?
