Yes, I was very careful with my wording. Speeds/bandwidth will increase, such is the march of technology. How quickly this will happen seems to be contingent on politics more than technological capability.

However, depending on amazon's pricing, remote stores for purchased data will be relevant today. It would be nice if someone proposed a standard to make these systems interoperable. eg. If I purchase an Google Book, it would be nice to be able to store it in my Amazon data locker.
