Try downloading a movie at 1080 P and realize why downloading is not the wave of the future.

The last time I checked VOD can do this in real time. Why do the anti-download people always think data direct to your house means coming over an internet connection.

 

I've got a news flash for you, there is currently more than enough technology and infrastructure available today to setup video on demand for almost every major area in NA, EU, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, etc.

 

Then where is this technology? Area 51? Get real. What the hell is a VoD? That's what the general population thinks.

What the hell is bluray? Oh it's the thing my PS3 does, k.

VOD = Video on Demand

What the hell is wrong with you, Area 51 lol.  Last time I checked, I can get HD video on demand right to my house(I live in Canada), and it even uses the archaic compression MPEG-2.  If you don't understand how data is transmitted down cable/fiber/twisted pair, don't tell me the technology is a long ways from deployment. 

If I'm not mistaken almost every MSO in the US should be able to offer VOD to every major area, and I'm not mistaken because I have been working on products that support VOD for more than 5 years.
