I remember when the TV cable guys would try to "count" how many TV sets you had by using signal bleed. If they couldn't, they would use an old trick - disconnect your cable, you call for service, they say it is inside and could they take a look for free, then count how many TV's you had inside, then they would hook cable back up, say all fixed, and bill for every outlet.

Didn't Ma Bell use to charge for every telephone outlet before they were found to be a monopoly?

Nobody liked being nickel and dimmed then, and nobody likes it now.
