When downloading programs, movies, games or other digital content, how far away are we from achieving instant gratification in the time it takes to go rent a movie from your local video store? with download speeds getting faster all the time, there is also also compression software, and peer to peer networks that pull from many sources to make the download experience faster. However now we hear about big companies stifling the information pipeline limiting downloads trying to make it fair to everyone who downloads, but is that fair to you who may be downloading a legitimate program you bought or are sharing pictures and music between your family and friends. For companies that offer a service like Microsoft’s X-Box Live to Amazon’s Unbox Digital Video Downloads, I think this kind of service is going to lead the way to the future of getting content at your finger tips and with WI-Fi connections many handheld devices that are going to support holographic memory will be able to store all that digital information with ease and all you will have to do is set up a connection to your T.V. or computer to quickly view the content. Fast connections to the Internet will make it able to view your download while it is in progress so you wont have to wait for it to finish downloading. I think companies like Google and Boingo Wireless will lead the way to the ambiguous wireless Internet where unbelievable speeds will be attained and then as consumers we will be able to get the information we need without the worry of being choked by big companies looking to reap profits on the information pipeline known as the Internet.
