IVB said:I'm sure Blockbuster video felt the same way. Nobody is really going to stream video when they could have uncompressed local, right?
In 5 years I'll bet latency and stability are far better, and cloud is actually a valid option. It's not today, but 5 years ago streaming video was also niche.
Latency is a function of distance and the speed of light. But yeah, you never know that guy at NASA is working at faster than light travel, so we might get better latency if that pans out in the next 5 years.
I know the world is predicting that everything is going to go more that way and a lot of it will for a while, but I am going to go out on my own limb and say a lot of it will come back the other way in the end.
