250GB cap is OK now, but in future...?

They should raise it 50-75GB every year or something. 250GB for 2008, 300-325GB for 2009 and so on...

Yeah at some point you'd think they have to raise it, but 50 gigabytes a years seems a bit high given that it's 1/5th of the entire amount. Maybe adjusting it say every three years or something, taking into account that they are probably looking at how much bandwidth is available. I'm sure that the 250 gig cap leaves a great deal of room for future expansion, or at least it should.

250 gigs will not be enough in the future. Its just a matter of time really. I don't see any reason why physical media should be used. Many reasons to move away from that but the most important reason is its the green/environmental thing to do. The problem is there is no standards or regulations moving forward to allow for this growth. What we have are huge corporations thinking they can decide what the internet should be and how it can be used. Some might be ok with letting companies like CC decide. And they will no doubt put brakes on what the future can provide in favor of upgrading infrustrature and they will no doubt allow their own HD content to be downloaded without restrictions. I see is a fight coming on in the future from the consumers, legislators, and corporations. Hopefully an end to the payoffs in congress to buy corporate policies will end in Washington.. Otherwise, I am afraid matters will only get worse with physical media being used far longer then need be.

I agree and disagree, I prefer physical media over downloads. But, I don't buy much physical media either so... I like to download most of my stuff, but every once in a while I will buy the physical media, I want the option of both physical or download to be the norm. Physical media needs to stay around for as long as it can.
