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. |
It may not be feasible in the Us of A but mainland Europe and the Far East has been fully equipped with 8Mb/s broadband for a very very long time.
I dont know what holds the States back but I presume the large distances between cities means infrastructure isnt in place for remote communities.
This is dangerous for Sony. Microsoft are attacking them in their strongest territories.
