lets charge overages for digital cable

Why don't we put GB caps on the amount of Digital Cable/Mpeg2 transport stream you can watch per month? HD will eat your bucket faster unless you watch an "economy HD" stream (most are anyways right now ).

The cable boxes already record and send back ever remote press you do and what you watch to headquarters for data mining. Charging digital cable by the GB would be as easy as pie. $1 a GB, which is about 45 mins of SDTV.
