Stop abusing the system jack wad with your 45 devices. I'm sick of paying for your arse.

I just did the same count came up with 15. Obviously, I have to buy more stuff.I just did a quick off-the-top-of-my-head count and I think there are 32 things in my house capable of accessing the internet.

I actually don't think bundling is going anywhere... people like choice. What I think will happen is that those people that want to be able to pick and choose a few channels will get that... or those that are happy watching shows three weeks after they air on Hulu will continue to do so. The rest of us will continue to pay $200/month... sure the delivery mechanism may change from traditional cable to streaming, etc... DirecTV doesn't advertise that you only get the 5 channels you want... they advertise that you get 100s of channels.
People subsidize other people all the time. If anyone who streams video had to pay the actual cost of their internet usage.. on a per/mb basis they'd freak out. For everyone like me with 45 devices hooked up to the internet, with two kids streaming content constantly, and playing online games... their someone who just posts on Facebook.
Or just break into my house.
ESPN is suing Verizon over this.
