Only because these technologies are just emerging and with limited scope. As I've said elsewhere, if Netflix made their entire movie library available online I would stream ALL my movies versus getting the physical DVD via snail-mail. Time Warner's caps would not allow me this freedom.
Yes it would. You would just have to pay more for the content is all.

What would be the point? Just buy it from the cable company. No need for pesky companies like Netflix.

Once they drive out the competition we'll all get what they want us to have. AOL all over again.

Having to pay more is financial limitation, not a freedom in this sense. No bargain.

What? When did AOL *ever* take over the Internet?
