If we are going to beef up the net enough for everyone to have streaming movies/tv. That could require considerable additional Infrastructure. Either we pay for it in taxes at a time when we are asking public employees to take cuts. Or there are going to be alot of low income and rural folks who won't be able to afford it. Something like the old Rural Electrification Administration?
And the big cable TV and Satellite providers are going to fight tooth and nail to protect their cash cow.
