I remember when people were saying the same thing about broadband.

"Just wait'll broadband gets here... we'll be able to sell whole movies for people to download to their PC"

"That'll never happen"
In fact I remember emailing mainstream studios/companies/content providers back in '99 and they thought I was insane. Now "on demand" is part of most of their strategies.
Now we're seeing portable devices like Microsoft's PMC (Portable Media Center) and PVP/PMP (Portable Video/Media Player) that are able to download (from your PC) 20GB+ of video, mp3, etc and also able to download satellite feeds from XM/Sirius radio and soon more-robust content (movies/music/more) on demand wherever you roam. will be exciting.
