Why is bandwidth expensive for cable providers? Is it because they still use copper for quite a bit of their network and are pretty limited?

What about satellite providers? Do they have to have more transponders or whatever they are on the satellites themselves for more bandwidth?

The very interesting question is:

With 100mb+ in home connections these days, why is there no true 1080 option? I know the bandwidth would cost a lot but they could kill selling movies for half the box price on pay per download basis
