1. Comment - CBS is the last man standing against Hulu

   This just foreshadows the day when ISPs will start charging by the Gigabyte; or establish a cap, over which they start charging by the GB or MB.
   
   Their justification? "All those streaming TV show videos are using so much bandwidth, it will bring the Internet to a crawl if something isn't done. We need more nodes and monitoring equipment to effectively manage all that demand. These cost money."
   
   It's all BS, of course. But this is how they will plead their case. and the FCC, after making mock objections for several months to save face, will eventually just say, "Oh - all right."
   
   And the TV networks will make the same deals with the ISPs that they made with the rebroadcasters ( a cut of every dollar charged)to get back the cash cow they lost from people cancelling cable and the other rebroadcasting services, to watch TV on the Internet.
