I think DLC started off well, but kinda took a shitty turn when "on disc" content was being locked behind the DLC Paywall. I don't think it would play out as written above, but I don't believe it is too far fetched either. The industry as a whole is a multi-billion dollar industry and like everything else, some people/companies/whatever will try to exploit it for what they can.

Never thought that Netflix would be forced to pay more to an ISP to carry their content either, but yea.... fuck Comcast too. 10 years from now, high speed is going to be more expensive and will have "tiered apps" access much like their cable TV offerings do now.
