Nah streaming film was pretty clear to be in the future when I saw Moxi in 2002. Mid 2000s stuff like Movie Beam and Tivo and in the 90s with WebTV planted the seeds. It pretty much felt things would go that way. A cable PPV was not that dissimilar. Netflix knew it in 1998 and why they named themselves Netflix in 1998. Movies don't require people to do inputs for something to happen. They don't need to be frame perfect. Games do. So when you said streaming as good as local hardware. That was a joke. That's not possible unless you plan to somehow change the speed of light.
