Consider a group of 10 users, who all create new content. If each one creates at a constant rate of 5 mbits, they need 5 up. But to download all the new content from the other 9, they need close to 50 down.
And when you expand to several billion people creating new content,
you need
a *huge* pipe down. Bottom line is that perfect symmetry isn't needed for content distribution - most people can't create content fast enough to clog their uplink, but have trouble picking and choosing what to downlink to fit in the available bandwidth.
Isn't this a phenomenon of the state of our (uplink) networks? Remove the restriction and see what happens?
