That's an interesting idea. Lets say you have access to 200 channels@$40/month (makes no difference how many channels, you can only watch one at a time (dvr notwithstanding))... break that down to $1.33/day. Figure in a normal day, you have the potential to watch TV for 16 Hours($.04/Hour), but the reality is probably something like 4 hours/Day ($.33/Hour). Hell, My cable bill would drop to somewhere around $17/Month (I watch TV maybe for 2 Hours, 3 nights a week average)
Even if you charge more per hour for premium channels, and less for local BS channels, it would be great.
I'm sure the math can be refined more, but you get the idea
Bring it ON |

So a gigabyte would be 1048576 kilobytes at 6.7 cents each.
