Porn to resolve HD-DVD format wars and hasten arrival of the mobile internet?
So, I came across this article tonight (while researching Red Hat of all things) about the troubles a Canadian phone carrier had after making pornography available to its subscribers. It reminded me of the important role pornography has had in technological innovation in the past.
Adult entertainment companies will find a way to sell to the mobile user, with or without cooperation from the carriers (Jenna is already selling ‘moan’ tones). Perhaps that trend will provide the necessary stimulus to raise our mobile bandwidth to levels found elsewhere in the world?
As described in another article, Blu-ray is looking like the next Betamax. Will Sony recognize a similar junction and adopt a different response this time? If not, I can see HD-DVD winning the format war with ease. Or, maybe getting porn in high def is not important to consumers and internet distribution (to their cell phone) is enough?
Which brings a bigger question…VHS and DVD came about prior to the broadband penetration we see today – will HD-DVD players be the new LaserDisc players with most consumers opting to get their movies into their living room through TiVos, SlingBoxes, iTVs, and Xboxes? Will the demand for pornography again play a role in charting technology, affecting adoption of devices bringing internet distribution to the television screen?
Many of the newer Adult DVD’s are starting to get filmed in HD, it’s now a huge selling point for them. I’m not entirely sure Blue Ray will go in the same direction, we’ll have to wait & see I guess.
