...what you'll probably see is something like people having a Hard Disk recorder at home with a streaming functionality, so when you are on the train, or stuck in the middle of a desert or forest camping or something and (yes, I know this defeats the object) you will be able to open up your laptop, stick a USB stick in it containing your LTE SIM, use your iPhone as a remote control over the web to select a movie to watch from your HDD player back home and then watch it in High Definition on the laptop without having to carry your entire media library around with you.

I know, I know. But you did ask!
