But you're willing to drive to the store to pick up a rental disc or wait days for it to arrive in the mail?
And these "people" that don't have computers have one of the HD disc formats........

What if you placed your choices in your queue and it downloads to a hard drive ready for you to view when it's done? It would definitely be done before Snail Mail.

Then take into account that prioritizing data feeds and scheduling premium feed times could drop wait?

Think outside the box guys! You are surrounded by sources of bandwidth feed and you ignore them.
This does not change the fact that there are people in rural communities that do not have Internet access and some never will because they don't want it and/or don't even own a computer. They may still own a DVD player and buy or rent a DVD all along. Physical media is going nowhere for a very very long time... the masses will continue to buy it in some physical form.
