Thanks again for an excellent WiR, Jack!

Don't miss Mark Cuban's blog entry. What he says about HDs as a better media compared to DVDs makes a lot of sense. Why to settle for a fixed-size media when the alternative is much more flexible, endlessly reusable and grows in capacity every year. His idea of kiosks filling HDs with what customer wants is not bad, and there are natural business opportunities there, especially with very high resolution content. On the other hand p2p combined with 10 Mbit/s and faster domestic line speeds should be able to provide more than enough high quality content for everybody. Hence the niche and the time window for a content kiosk business might be limited.
