Really has nothing to do with the ISP monopolies, the movement of the data is on the ISP but that is a minor issue compared to the storage problem. Data storage and movement is about to be one of the great challenges as we move into a completely digital on demand age. Storage especially as hi def video are very large files and while compression helps you lose some of the resolution, so it can only go so far. It's one of those things that we need more innovation on lossless compression and storage to find a solution.
