This particular project was about distributing European films in Brazil. It wasn't a bad idea (obviously), it was just a bit ahead of its time. In each state you'll find that about a third or even half of the population lives in or around the capital (where the infrastructure is best). The problem was that you couldn't get a fast enough connection into people's homes.
