because not everyone has unlimited broadband internet. Really, fairly substantial parts of the country don't. My sister lives outside of Denver, and will need to get a satellite connection if she wants anything more than dial-up. I live in SE Michigan, and we have severely metered internet - my husband has to download my audio books at his work, because one download will use up our daily allotment, and then we'd be stuck on below dial-up speeds for 24 hours.
streaming video is totally out of the question for us.
