And that's going to be the biggest downfall of downloaded
Movies. Timewarner has already taken steps in certain
areas to limit bandwidth per month. They do not want you
downloading to your vudo or apple tv. They want you purchasing
PPV movies from them. So the more it catches on the more
strict they will become. There are already areas in which
they have a 10gb per month cap on downloads per month
with a 1$ per gb overage fee. Average High def quality
movie being 6-8gb. So after your allotted 2 movies per
month you will be looking at a $6-8 charge per movie from
your isp on top of whatever you are paying for the distribution
service. I would almost guarantee any move like this would
me across the board by most isp's that also offer entertainment
packages.
At the same time they are advertising that you can watch HBO on your computer.
