Video on Demand exists right now ... via my cable company. I have
access to several "on-Demand" video services, and that will only grow.

"I never would have believed that anybody could be moronic enough to
think that video on demand could exist without a high speed internet
connection,"

"That's the most idiotic statement I've read on usenet this year."
