BusinessInsider.com has about how when Walmart announced it had acquired VUDU, quite a few discussions were taking place on the web suggesting that Walmart would now need to setup a data center to be able to handle the delivery of videos, or that Walmart wasn’t going to want to support VUDU’s P2P based technology.
