I think the real issue is one of innovation. With metered Internet usage, the entire Internet industry goes away. No more netflix. No more xbox live. No more steam. No more itunes. No more youtube.

Do you really think google, apple, netflix, valve, and microsoft are going to stand by and let these greedy bastards destroy their revenues?

Nope.

If the chair of the FCC backs metering the Internet, it's because he's ignorant, naive and needs to be replaced by someone who understands the Internet houses multi-billion dollar industries who will fight back. Perhaps google will roll their own Internet service. I see that as a good thing. It would put comcast and AT&T out of the Internet business for good, which is also a good thing.

It's not that really.

It's probably because you can't actually get HBO unless you pop for a very expensive cable subscription.

If HBO GO were a standalone subscription, I'd pay for it. Even if it cost the same as the cable version.

Since it's not offered except as part of an expensive cable subscription, I can't get it.

My primary TV source is Netflix, supplemented with hulu and other sources like crackle.

THE market is speaking. Is the owner of HBO listening?
