Mark Cuban has a great little essay on HDTV, DVD, Hard Drives and the future.
It is all about the data. Assuming the whole licensing thing can get worked out, the following business model would be spectacular:
- I go to a web site and choose the movies and television content i want to see … similar to NetFlix, just expanded to include TV content both present and future in HDTV format
- I choose the total number of hours i want at a time - translation: disk space size
- I receive a hard disk in the mail with the content i selected
- I plug the disk into my home entertainment system and watch what i want, when i want
- The vendor learns my viewing habits, and as i’m finishing up the current disk a new disk arrives
- I pack up the disk and send it back to the vendor
I want this for $20 a month. Or, include advertisements with the TV content and i’ll pay 10 bucks (since i’m plugging the disk into a TiVo type unit with fast-forward capability anyways).
