"One day the idea that you don't have internet access will be just as silly as saying you don't have electricity." Much of the world lives with unreliable or intermittent electrical power, and likewise unreliable or intermittent internet service. Also with mobile devices you're talking wireless bandwidth which is shared by everyone in a given area. The combination of crowds and streaming media is not trivial to engineer for. There are some promising technologies (MIMO, etc) but I don't believe any of them remove this fundamental scaling. Local cache will continue to be important. What will be lost is the requirement to manage which device your shit is on.
