Storage per buck is doubling roughly every year; that means that if you start recording now, you can keep doing it forever (until the curve levels off) for a total lifetime cost of twice the price of the first year. That's easy.
Wireless bandwidth, however, is not increasing nearly fast enough to keep up; its doubling time is several years. And if we keep adding users faster than we add channels, we'll never catch up. Sneakernet will continue to be the economical choice into the forseeable future. (Hint: with current SD cards, CPIP is faster than T1.)
