If movies weren't on these hubs then they can go out and get one from a national server. These small "nodes" are to prevent such traffic accross the entire network.
Ah, I missed that, sounds doable. Still, many people will want a collection of media they can keep for years to come and many won't have access to this high speed download capability for years to come. I wouldn't ring the death knoll for HD media just yet.
