Downloads: Years Away From Replacing Blu-ray

Posted on 13. Mar, 2008 by in Blu-Ray, News

During a Content Delivery and Storage Association conference panel this month, four studio officials said downloads are no threat to physical media because they are too complicated and take too long to download.

I don’t think we have to be worried about the replacement of physical media for some time,” said Benn Carr, Disney’s vice president of new technology, according to Video Business. “Downloading sales are not going to ‘hockey-stick’ soon. Every time I access a site and download, it’s not necessarily seamless.”

Sven Davidson, vice president of content development for Fox, was even more critical:
“Demand for downloading is very small and the satisfaction is smaller,” he said. “The pipelines aren’t big enough.” News Source
