It may just be a matter of semantics but I think delineating the difference between "rental" and "leasing" is important. The immediacy desired trends towards the notion of rental but over time I think the leasing model that cars have traditionally taken will be more common for the money it saves and the ownership simulation it encourages. Subscription fees rather than purchases. Fashion accessories are even seeing this activity spike in current economic times: http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/ Bag Borrow or Steal offers the same model for luxury goods. As such I think we're seeing not only "internet-driven goods" moving towards this model but rather, the management of goods via the internet becoming standard across a wide array of goods.
