I you would have told people 25 years ago that someday their cable bill
would be $300 they would think you were crazy. But that's what a lot of
people who still have cable have been paying a month. I still my
provider trying to sell me TV and once when they reacted as if I was
from Mars because I didn't want TV. The paradigm has changed and it is
pissing off the telecom CEOs.
So what I can't figure in that article is why the 20 year old daughter
would sign up for cable TV when they could get what they want to watch
streaming and when they want? Dinosaurs don't like to see their world a
changin'.

Well, the spousal unit and I are hooked after 1 episode. Hopefully
this will be a good ride. We've had pretty good luck with the Netflix

before, but even their bad stuff is better than most network and cable
offerings.

Basically the kid of the head of a Canadian cable company can't get
her content without circumventing ridiculous border restrictions
created by lawyers in Hollywood.
Also, I think many of the folks who are torrenting stuff from Netflix
is for the masses who would love to get but it's not available in
their country yet. Places like Australia are getting a hugely pared
down version of the catalog that Americans have access too.
There is also that group of folks that just refuse to pay for it period..
