> (me) Netflix should only be compared to entities that do not own networks.. > (vkou) When you pay for cable, your $60/month bill pays for programming, as well as the wires that deliver your television to your home. Vkou's rephrasing is precisely correct. Home phones are also $20-$60/month because operating a wired network really is that expensive. Many people I know that use cable/satellite TV either have low home bandwidth or have a home bandwidth cap. A standard home datacap is 300gb/month. The average American watches 5 hours of tv a day [0], or 500+gb/month (at HD).
