Re: metered billing means said by S_engineer:The more they pay the less they use...then the cablecos would reclaim some of that precious bandwidth they're supposedly losing. Speaking of bandwidth.. won't the cablecos have mad bandwidth freed up this coming June 12 when all video broadcast/transmissions are supposed to switch to all data?
I'm sure they'll then start to drop their analog simulcast, slowly moving all subscribers needing a cable box to get all channels.. |

They can't drop their analog simulcast on basic channels for a couple years by FCC mandate. |

The june 12th switch has nothing to do with cable bandwidth. That is OTA switching to a digital signal. |
