Hmm...interesting. I believe that will eventually happen, but not for a long, long time. If the patchy North American cellular networks have shown us anything, it's that bandwidth and coverage are not as plentiful as TV ads would have us believe?

Sure, but what if that store goes offline? I don't think the level of trust is there yet - I know that I want to OWN and STORE my own data/content, not leave it up to someone else to manage.
