True hi-res streaming (e.g. 24/96 or 24/192) is still probably a ways away due to lack of demand. But even streaming at 24/192 FLAC requires less than half the bandwidth of Netflix-quality HD video. So even if hi-res streaming was available now and every single audiophile was signed up, it wouldn't amount to a blip on the overall broadband network traffic.
I also disagree on costs.
Tidal/WiMP lossless is $20, £20, or €20. So cheapest in the USA.
Spotify Premium is $9.99, £9.99, or €9.99. Also cheapest in the USA.
Land-line broadband costs are somewhat higher in the USA than most of Europe (25-30%), but not the highest in the world. I think Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland are worse for example.
But even at the most expensive rates, it's still a relatively cheap way for people to access new music compared to buying copies.
