摘要：

This short paper examines the technological feasibility of a " video on demand" service that is provided from a centralized location over a digital network. The proposed, hypothetical video on demand service is considered to be a service similar to the currently popular video-tape rental services. The problem addressed is divided into two parts: communications and database access. It is argued that the incremental communications cost is small, as long as one assumes that there is already a network with sufficient bandwidth to the customer. A solution to the database access problem is presented which could be implemented with technology available in no more than 10 years.
