    If the demand increases enough, more factories will be built. Right?

    Except most people think it’s a bubble, so won’t risk building and the cost to build factories that technical is so large that most big companies outsource it, never mind new entrants.

    I suspect instead well move more towards a data on demand kind of thing. We don’t need the same thing stored in millions of copies worldwide. Cheaper connectivity and containerization should help, I’d think.

    It will start with rarely used large files like isos, which are already pretty efficiently distributed but then move to more and more, like cdns do for web already.

    I’m just hypothesizing…I’ve nothing to base it on, but it seems redundant to have so much duplication.
