Everyone knows this is the tip of the iceberg of the future. They are instant packets of entertainment just a download away, little TV shows without any rules or commitment. The problem is, much of the existing material sucks. Most are one trick ponies, little ditties that hang on a plot twist, hopefully so surprising and original that they're worth the download wait. But with broadband far away and modems still reigning supreme, the patience of the surfer is still stunted and the risk he is willing to take is largely minimal.
