If you make the assumption that 20% of those are for home use and fast enough for movie downloads that means that there are more people today who could take advantage of a movie download service then will have bought into Blu-Ray by 2010. |
Broadband doesn't mean everybody has a 20+ mbps connection. Isn't the basic package 768k for highspeed providers? With a basic package like that, it would take quite a while just to download one movie. Though to some that wouldn't matter...honestly I wouldn't care about the speed. The main problems I would have is bandwidth and hard drive space. I doubt very many providers don't have bandwidth limit, most will probably have a limit on how much they can download. And with hard drive space, you're limited on the amount of movies you can have.
