Hi, Geoffrey - re: " Also, this makes me think that video on demand may get started not with mainstream video, such as the latest popular movie, but more arcane video that cannot be easily accessed at the local Blockbuster or DVD rental. X-rated stuff, old movies, old TV shows, foreign movies otherwise unavailable, special instructional material (e.g., medical, technical), tourist materials, and such."

Denver Techie had some interesting comments on the thinking that prevails WRT VOD, in this post:

"Give em the Top 20 and they'll be happy and we'll be rich."

"And they suggest video on demand will not become mainstream until 2010."

geoffrey- Maybe so but it has nothing to do with technology. I have VOD right now. My guess is it's the MPAA that is the holdup. They have hated new technology since their inception. As far as they see, every new technology is just another way to steal their precious junk (which they can force feed now). -MikeM(From Florida)
