What funny about canada, when, for example, you subscribe to netflix (with default setting of 2.3 gb / hour for HD content) you will for sure exceed you montly usage limit (30-50 gb upload/download combined) for normal high speed internet connection

What kind of connection do you have? I'm in Canada, and have a 400GB cap.
 
I don't understand this attraction to digital media on plastic. It's just bits. Who cares where it lives. The point is it be should safe, secure, and universally available. iCloud does that for me just fine. That seems to be where the industry (Apple, Amazon, Google) is going.

I have the bits, and I don't have to pay an ISP per byte that I re-download from the net. That's the attractions....

Perhaps the "cloud" is universally available - but for many people the bandwidth (per second) is too low, and the cost for GB/month is too high.

Unless you have a 100 Mbps connection and guaranteed unlimited GB/month the "cloud" is not a solution.
 
I get your point. But we used to buy CDs, too. At some point, maybe a couple years, I think we will get video the same way we get music today.
