There's also the laws of Physics.

If you were on an island with a 2 Megabit leased line, and had ten 
people wanting to stream BBC iPlayer at 1 Megabit each [which they 
naturally feel is possible because each of them only wants half the 
supplied bandwidth], what architecturally network neutral solution would 
you propose?

(Assume you'd asked if they wanted to pay 10x the monthly fee, and they 
all said "no").
