Sería el reconocimiento de que el mercado del VOD, basado en streaming, es ya una realidad económica. Los avances de Netflix, que empezó distribuyendo por correo postal DVDs de alquiler, uno de los actores más sólidos en la distribución digital de films en EE.UU, con 10 millnes de suscriptores, ha mostrado la vía a todos los actores potenciales del Vídeo Bajo Demanda. En el servicio llevaría el nombre de iTunes Replay y va combinado con el Apple TV que permite ver directamente en el televisor los fims alquilados. El servicio sería compatible con el iPhone. [...]

I bought a third for my parents. Streaming is unreliable, at best. Hell, it takes several minutes just to authorize playback from iTunes. I have a cable modem with throughput identical to yours. That being said, waiting for a download isn't exactly a deal-breaker, since I tend to plan an hour or so ahead. It's a neat idea, but evidence of Apple's previous attempts with services like this don't instill much confidence. I have 2 of them – both primarily to run Boxee. I bought a third for my parents.

Other platforms such as the Xbox 360 already offer direct movie rental via Netflix through Xbox live. Most laptops have a video out port that can be used to hook directly up to a television. Using this port displaying it on a TV is trivial. I don’t see why they wouldn’t offer this. Other platforms such as the Xbox 360 already offer direct movie rental via Netflix through Xbox live.

Even many urban areas still don't have consistently fast cable internet streams (especially areas with Comcast monopolized service).

They are already streaming movies. In HD. I rent movies and buy TV shows a lot on Apple TV, and I typically wait 20 seconds, and am prompted that I can begin watching. I've never had it had to stop me during a playback, not once. I'm using a cable modem connection that gets about 8mbps. Have you ever used an Apple TV? They are already streaming movies. In HD.
