Longer then DVD, reason why? Peoples internet speeds are still too low for downloading content from the web. Digital Distribution still needs about 6 more years to come over physical distribution.

Blu Rays maximum delivery is something like 35Mbps. If you had a 50Mbps internet connection you could easily manage as good if not better than Blu Ray quality sound + video over the internet even accounting for less than advertised speeds. Most Cable/DSL companies are pushing for 100Mbps to the home. Realistically you could probably get away with 30Mbps internet as most consumers couldn't tell the difference between similar bit rate but well encoded content, or if they do they don't particularly care for the difference.

I think he means peoples downloads speeds, a lot of people don't have very good interenet speeds to download films,  mines is fine for it, but my brother who lives 2 miles down the road, he has really crap internet conection,sometimes when he is downlooading a demo off the PSN it says something stupid like 1 day remaining,where as mine is a matter o minutes. People all around need a decent internet base speed before digital distribution takes place.
