"San Francisco logic" I'm going to use this next time I explain to someone why having a business where an Internet startup selling 10 dollars worth of quarters for 15 bucks is a STUPID STUPID STUPID idea.
The real answer is that it's not *free* it's free *to you* in exchange for some of your peers giving up their demographic information to advertisers. Sound familiar? It's not free for the local CableCo to rebroadcast. It'd be like putting together an app that interfaces with Facebook, down to the private APIs, better than Facebook's own website or app and charging 5 bucks for it.
