You do realize that a modern 1.5 Terabyte hard-drive can hold 375 720p movies (and 180+ 1080p movies) and with a dedicated 1.5Mb/s connection a 720p movie can be downloaded in under 8 hours ... Currently the technology exists (and is available in Korea) that offers over 500 times that internet speed. On top of that, consider that Barack Obama has recently announced an initiative to build the broadband infastructure which could (easily) result in a dramatic increase in the speed and availability of broadband internet in the united states over the next 5 years.
