Not really viable without a massive investiment in infrastructure by the ISPs, which, due to the current prices being charged, is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

I prefer to physically own something.


Don't think much of downloads at the moment. e.g. I'd much rather buy a movie on BD / HD DVD, than pay some stupid price for a more compressed & lower quality watch-once-then-it-self-destructs rental (cough XBL Videomarketplace cough).

Then of course there's also usage limits, traffic shaping, etc.

Me too! I like hard product in my hands (yes yes, chortle, chortle), not just a few GB's on a hard disk somewhere.
