Media viewing via the computer is becoming ever more popular.  Why buy a DVD when you can (legally) download a movie off many websites now?  The same goes for music and other forms of media.

The problem is viewing your stored media from a different source that is not your home computer.  According to a survey done by Parks Associates, a market research company, 33% of broadband households are looking for ways to view their stored media from outside of their house.  In other words, they are looking for some type of remote access viewing.

With this new demand for remote access, service providers will need to supplement their packages with networking plans.  Parks Associates predicts that over 50 million households worldwide will take advantage of this networking plan by the year 2012.

This is a big project for service providers and developers right now because of the ever growing popularity of downloaded media.  We can only sit and watch what developers are doing now to improve upon this demand.  Hopefully, in the near future, we will be able to view our media from anywhere.
