As streaming video becomes better quality, consumers average bandwidth consumption will go up, purchasing games via downloads over hard disk copy's will become the norm. Youtube will switch to full HD video for all of it's content, Interactive Blu-ray discs will evolve downloading content the producers servers, renting Blu-ray via downloads will become the norm. Progression of technology is hindered by metered billing, No company will have a chance when the consumers in Canada have their bandwidth pipe choke off by it's ISP to save it's own Video on Demand service or television service. Shaw is reading it's self for the growth of online media with metered billing, to acquire every damn cent it can from it's subscribers.
Really think about it for a bit, I myself could be downloading a video to my Iphone, while doing streaming video phone calls, sending texts, between posting this comment on this forum.........Technology evolves, what's next 2 years from now?
