What is everyone's thoughts on how long it will take before Onlive goes international. By this I mean Canada, UK, and Asia.

i think it will be

Q1-Q3 2010 release is completely reasonable for Canada. UK will be Q1 2011 I believe in by best guess. Asia: somewhere between 2012 and never.

I'm guessing it's going to have a lot to do with 2 things.

Firstly how it works, the US launch is going to play a big part in it and secondly if it is a success then I would see it being a relitivly fast roll out to countries that have the networks in place to be able to offer this to the masses.

With the rate of growth in the connection speeds throught europe, us and many other places in the world I'm sure onlive may have timed this perfectly!

I found an old modem of mine in a box while clearing out my gararge the other day, it was my first modem I bought! wait for it....

33.6k external modem that baby cost me £115 ($190) about 13 years ago! I've now got ADSL2 with a good 15mb down & 1.3mb up now. but getting tempted by the 50mb offerings from uk cable companies the only problems they aren't that reliable and they traffic shape!

Frankly, I don`t think the service will make it to countries like Somalia (no offence, really). They need some testing work done, so the UK release will be probably in 2012. Asia is a huge market, my prediction is for 2015.
