Intel Will Lead Us to à la Carte Pay TV

[Sgraffite]

Here's the thing. For this to work Intel would need to do one of two things.

#1 Sue the crap out of ISPs so Intel bandwidth isn't counted against bandwidth caps.

#2 Setup your own ISP and compete against cable companies.

First one is if Intel is lazy and just want quick profit. The second though is more ambitious, but has chance for greater profits.

Doesn't help that cable companies still use MPEG2 as well. Everyone wants subscriptions, cause they make guaranteed money. Why you think online sites want you to be billed automatically?

You certainly don't need TV taking up space in the cable line. They could do what phone companies use and go VOIP, or Cable over IP.

Intel is lazy if they don't decide to set up their own ISP?

Would definitely be good for me. I only watch like 15 of the 150 channels I have. But they make those tiers so you get a bunch of junk for the 1-3 channels you actually do want.
