MORE propaganda from a corporate shill.
I don't know the rate at which movies over a wire will be adopted, but they WILL
be adopted.
Take what sir talky tells ya with a grain of salt, he works for people who have gambled
that the little silver disc has a future.
Decoding his message gives you a look into the technique of a skilled propagandist.
For instance he has skipped one of the major avenues of getting movies over a wire, digital cable.
I actually heard a conversation where they were talking about a jodie foster movie,
and how its now on pay-per-view.
This from some definatly non-tech people.
The gamble for sir talkys group is that Bluray will make back its investment before the bottom falls out of the disc rental market, hence misinfo like the article he quoted.
Truth is theres plenty of capacity on the net when people decide to start using it for movies, it has plenty of time before that happens, but not for the reasons stated in the article.
The MAIN reason is that cable is going to be a major source for movies, something called VOD, or video on demand.
You can pause, FF, REW, etc, and have 24 hrs to watch your movie, usually in HD.
You dont need an overpriced player, a lot of the time movies are free.

Now sir talky will cite info that says that that this isnt happening yet, and it is a small segment of the market.
Just like a few years ago when LCD was a small segment of the market, and look at what happened to THAT.
True there will always be a market for collectors but for casual veiwing you cant beat PAYPERVIEW.
No going down to the video store, rental remourse, taking the movie back, late fees, etc.
Just click a button.
THIS is the future.
How do I know this? Because I know the public.
Lazy, fat, stupid, once they figure this out, its bye bye rental stores.
No matter What kind of propaganda sir talky quotes.
Basically this thread of his is nothing new under the sun, mostly wishfull thinking on his part
