Discs and Streaming Video

By admin

In my ongoing fascination with the movement of video to streaming use I found that this posting an chart were interesting. As Netflix moves to a web only model (no discs as it already has in Canada) and we see other stressors on video distribution (DRM, broadband access, slow download speeds, and possible tiered access) we see that the march seems to be towards streaming media. This does not bode well for the collectors of the world which is a shame. I’ll bet there is a role for a recommender and collector engine for videophiles in libraries.
