It is NOT feasible to stream regular movies, let alone high def movies if you don't live in a city of a couple million. which is 99% of america, canada, mexico, and most of europe. and then what happens when it finally does catch on in 2050? the isps will throttle traffic because they don't have the bandwidth to do it, hell, they complain about not having the bandwidth for the next 5 years because of the growth of video streaming from things like youtube and the growth of online games. |
I completely agree. From whatt I've read braodband suppliers are going to start charging by usage just like the gas or water company which will have a large effect on all downloading across the board. Dvd's are going to be around for a long long time. People like them and most buyers have a ver large collection
