 ADSL increased the bandwidth of a telephone line from around 100kbps to 2Mbps, while DCT compression reduced the required bandwidth of a digital television signal from around 200Mbps down to about 2Mpps.The combination of DCT and ADSL technologies made it possible to practically implement streaming services at around 2Mbps bandwidth.The mid-2000s were the beginning of television programs becoming available via the Internet.
