Metered cable tv service model

I should only have to pay for the time I spend watching television. Who's with me?

I need some buffalo chicken wings. Maybe a pepperoni pizza. I got the italian garlic supreme last time (with red sauce, no tomatoes), which was good, but I don't want to burn out on it too quickly. I'd also rather not pay the $3 deliv fee + tip, but it's raining out and I'm lazy. Who's with me?

I am, but only if you're paying and providing the popcorn. What's on? Saaaaay, that Gilligan's Island marathon looks choice! Hand me the remote, yo.

And scooch over a bit, I like lot's of room. Got any beer? (You know, I think your little sister is into me.) Come to Pappa, Sally! Sit on Daddy's lap, now! Ahhhhhh, that's better.

Good post.

This does bring up what could the basis for an interesting legal argument though.

TV isn't exactly a good comparison to internet. The TV signal is broadcast to your house whether you are watching it or not, bandwidth consumption in this case is not dependent on usage. It's not at all comparable to internet service or video-on-demand.

I hate paying $80 and only watching a few hours of tv a month. But I don't want to get rid of it for some reason. Every now and then, there is nothing better than watching some odd movie or show.
