except most sat users are like my friend that has direcTv because he lives out of town and has no option for cable. which of course means he has no option for internet. So if sat fails people like my friend won't be turning to hulu etc for Tv they will have no choice but to get TV OTA which severely limits what one can watch. I bet at least 1/3 if not MUCH more of sat subscribers don't have access to broadband.
Which wouldn't be a problem IF they had high speed internet access mind you. Keep in mind 4G is around the corner. 4G is and will provide these outlining areas with the speed they need. It's just a matter of time.
The only cell compnay with even 3G in my area is Verizon. And if they insist on their 5 GB monthly cap and $256 per GB overage then 4G is of no use for watching TV over the web.

Yes that's today's business model. The next 4G business model will be different. It has to change and it will. The market is too competitive. You would be a fool to think that the next gen 4G network would be capped at 5GB. The times will change.

Imagine you pay VZW 1 wireless bill for EVERYTHING you use, IPTV, web, cell, ect. On top of that you will have multiple wifi devices on one account that will share one big data plan or individual plans. You will have 4G devices in your car(s), one dedicated to your home which is then distributed via 802.11abgn(?), your laptop(s) both wifi and air-card while on the go.

All a service provider needs to do is price it right. This includes bandwidth and any caps or restrictions.

The landscape is changing as we speak.

Lets not forget the enterprise benefits of this as well. I plan on buying 4G wifi for my enterprise connectivity needs as well. Weather it be for the main connection or as a backup to the T3.

Now where's my 700-800mhz 4G tester at?
