If I was providing a premium service, I wouldn't just "take your word for it". The arrangement is there so they can pull the content the minute you say "I'm done with HBO". If you had a national "come to us with anyones service", then you'd have lots of people getting free HBO because nobody would tell the vendor the bill is no longer being paid...

And what are Cox customers supposed to do? Cox is looking at implementing caps
I'll believe it when I see it. They have had "caps" for years, but they've never been enforced except against the most egregious of bandwidth hogs. (I know a few people who probably deserved it but were never hassled)

So you think that HBO shouldn't charge for their content, when they've successfully demonstrated that enough people find enough value in it to pay the price they ask?

I do think that it's silly that they have no means for satellite subscribers to access the service, and that they require that you use the cable company's Internet service, if you're using cable.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with access control. After all, HBO subscribers don't get let in on some secret handshake. :o
And what are Cox customers supposed to do? Cox is looking at implementing caps and Comcast has super secret caps on their service. A few movies and some Netflix here and there and there goes your bill straight up. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19844821 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:49:50 EDT Re: must already be an HBO subscriber http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19844748 wierdo : So you think that HBO shouldn't charge for their content, when they've successfully demonstrated that enough people find enough value in it to pay the price they ask?
