American Internet “Cannot Handle” Digital Distribution

Many entertainment companies are relying on digital distribution to guide them to profitability and success. The issue is, the American internet infrastructure isn’t quite there yet to support that. Much of the country lags with inadequate service. From lack of choices to expensive options and threats of data caps, there’s many issues looming that consumers aren’t even aware of.

With many of those entertainment companies also are tied into the internet provider providing the entertainment, consumers stand to lose in the long run. Data caps are a prime example of an issue facing consumers. As mentioned in the video below, one video game can cause someone to hit their cap. Computerworld gives us some reasons why (hint: monopolies).

YouTube personality boogie2988 tackles the issue in his latest video and mentions how this stifles innovation and economic growth.
