As that occurs, I think mobile delivery directly to the player will be the primary acquisition method.

That will also facilitate device-to-device transfers. And in those instances, it will be easy to track the file going to the new phone and charge that new consumer right on their cell phone bill. Peer-to-peer becomes easier and profitable.
