I dunno. I don't think this would work. People are used to
getting their TV for free. So I think that there would be
considerable resistance to pay per view for everything.

I think higher priced flat rate channels would do far
better. Although at the end of the day when it's all said
and done I think that "cheap" is king.

The cheapest option will win out.

It's the Walmart effect.

I think downloads would catch on sooner that something
like this.
