Anyone else worried about what online HD streaming from ABC is going to do to Internet connection speeds?

Multichannel News reports that ABC is claiming to be the first major TV programmer to stream HDTV online. The network will start its HD test in July with content (full episodes?) from Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, and Ugly Betty. Broadcasting and Cable adds an interesting note that ABC is not detailing what bit-rate it will use to compress the HD video.

Um, bandwidth issues anyone?
