Both of the answers so far were about hardware not porn.
The Internet in the next couple of years will evolve into a major vehicle to deliver porn to the consumer. The surfer is already getting educated to what he should expect and will demand that he get's it when he pays hit $30 a month.
Also more of the ""Professional Pornographers" will look at this market and decide it's time to have some. Revenues are fallling in both the two traditional delivery methods, magazine and video. They will come and develope their own sites, some will fail in the begining and some will not.
Better sites will go to the top of the pile and those trying to convert him with tricks and flash methods will whither and though not die will become less relevent. This will mean a lot less companies publishing Interent porn.
For those left it will mean larger revenues and Goliaths will evolve in the market. The day of someone putting up a paysite with 200 sets and making it work are gone. In the future it will need 1,000 sets to get anything at all.
There will still be the small players at the edge, but they will have less influence and probably be confined to driving traffic to the bigger companies.
This is assuming we crush Acacia and the other companies with BS patents don't see us as "Low Hanging Fruit". If that happens the supply of porn on the net will move away from the US, or those in the US will be paying 10% to be in business.
