I remember reading a story about some folks setting up a manufacturing/pressing shop a year or two ago. From what I remember, pressing vinyl has a high error rate/low yield and that newer equipment improves upon this, driving down the costs significantly. You can probably assume that people are setting these up in most every mid-sized or larger city, possibly even some small ones as well. So it's likely that with a mature supply chain and a distributed manufacturing base, vinyl will be able to have a wider variety of music and low prices (even more so than now). I doubt that CD manufacturing facilities are seeing any expansion at all; probably still consolidating and controlled only by the large labels.
