I doubt it would be one payment for access rights on all devices...present or future. Each separate device will require a separate payment. It's pretty much the same thing now (if you bought it on DVD but want it on Blu-ray, that's another purchase), but you won't get to own the media.

I'm very much against the pay-per-view model. It's fine as an entertainment supplement, but I don't want it as our only option. For reasons already given above (sentimental, archival, etc.) I like to have a physical copy of my favorites.
