Your ISP, if Net Neutrality disappears.

I agree that without net neturality this would be the future. I think the best way to do internet access is by connection speed for the end customer and give them access to whatever they want. Most internet users never even come close to maximizing their bandwidth they are paying for, so its not like ISPs are hurting. The problem is they are afraid that as most of the population gets on broadband, their profit margins will narrow and they will not be able to find additional ways to monetize (aka gouge) their customers for more and more money.
I still wish one of the satellite providers would do a complete a la carte TV system. I wouldn't even mind paying more on a per channel basis if I could skip all of the crap channels that I never watch. I never watch any of the QVC, ShopAtHome, BET, religious channels, or the "public access" channels and think that requiring me to pay for the couple of channels I want in the upper tier packages (History Int'l, National Geographic, Miltary Channel, Sci. Channel, etc.) is absurd.

Which is why television is moving towards the "netflix streaming" model. I definitely think that's the future for broadcasting. Not so much "live" broadcasts(except for sports..press releases) as your content becoming "available" at certain times, then you are able to view it at your leisure.
