Ok this is a complicated but good question!! Because the future is sometimes really hard to predict.

Yes 56k will be around for years to come as its for people that 1. want cheep internet 2. don't really use the internet much so they don't mind slow connections 3. high speed is not in their area and they can't afford expensive satellite internet. 56k and streaming you can't even put that in the same sentence.

Ok for the people that don't live on a farm and can afford high speed streaming is going to be big business.

-Net neutrality
The ending of net neutrality...... why did I bring this up why is it sooo important?
Right now if you have the internet you have access to just about any site around the world. You can download or torrent movies, music, games, just about whatever you want. With sites like justintv and such you can stream a lot of different things to your computer. There is a plan to end net neutrality and this plan is coming together very quickly.

Once net neutrality ends?
We will have access to a limited amount of web sites and web sites containing illegal content (sites like this forum) are going to be shut down. Once this happens its like a ticking time bomb there will be mass increases in people paying for streaming technology because there will be no choice on getting your movies for free anymore. Movie stores are going to be few and the rebox are not going to be on every corner but there will be a few for years to come.
