In 10 years its blown up. for those in the U.S. I can watch videos on there full screen on my 22" widescreen monitors with no buffering at superb quality with no pixilation issues.

Now sure there will be people having to adapt and how to properly shoot hd, and how to properly prepare models in order to shoot in that quality. If you think people are going to continue to be happy with their porn at 512k 320x240 you are deluded. If they can watch the office at 3360x1050 with out a glitch or a buffer do you think they will be happy on a paysite that can barely stream 640x480 at 1100k after a 2 minute buffer wait?

Flash 3 and Silverlight both can deliver video amazingly fast with little to no buffer if on the proper network. Adult needs to continue to innovate or some mainstream company is going to step in and show us how things are done folks.


CDN looks to me like a step in the right direction. Just my 2 cents on it.
