If I can get what I get today(and sooner releases for some movies) on netflix why would I pay $100+ a month for satellite?
Bandwidth consumption for video still needs to be improved for truly widespread use, but that is coming. The question is timing and I'm sure they will hold on for a while, but growth will be non-existent for them. This world will all be about content creation not distribution. If you don't create the content the amount of value you add(and the amount you can charge) will be limited.

Well, you need internet for both of those. Plus, in the future you'll see additional charges for bandwidth usage, so these mediums will not effectively replace cable/Sattilite. I use netflix, and I have Dtv. I don't have the premiums because of netflix.
