I was wondering how the Co-Op would license a TV package. The basic service is 20/10 for $49.99 a month. Obviously your Telco found a vendor, do you know who it’s through?

Uh, no. While some of the streaming providers would have paid “bribes” to the ISP’s to get preferential treatment, that would have come at the cost of slowing down everybody else. And once you monetize bandwidth, parasites would be jumping in to charge you for content specific access...

Haven’t we all seen the list of what our channels actually cost to provide? It’s easy to look at it and say “I never watch BTV or sports, I want Cartoon Network, the Science Channel, the cooking channels, SyFy, etc, and my locals. That should cost $40 a month and they’re charging me $75”...

Okay, thanks. I heard a mention somewhere about being able to get FTA data streaming and thought it would be worth a look. Even $29 a month one-way would be worth a shot if I can build the system myself.

Are there any details about the $29 one-way service you mentioned?

Apple once was trusting. They trusted Microsoft with a license for the Mac OS. And look what happened. Now they document EVERYTHING. Gestures, features, layout, code. They know that Microsoft even stole the code for Quicktime to use in Video For Windows. If you'd been robbed TWICE...
