I don't believe for a second that data is subsidizing anything. It's a revenue stream, sure, but prices haven't gone down as data collection went up.

- vel0city 5y agoPrices haven't gone down? So before smart TV's were a thing 70" 4K TVs could be had for $650?
- vinay_ys 5y agoThat's the usual price drop as these SKUs achieved mass market and got economies of scale.
- zanderz 5y agoI worked at a company that was attempting to sell software to consumer electronics manufacturers as per the divx model - some of us remember when you couldn't buy a dvd player without that logo. But when streaming began to replace physical media, I was told that services such as Amazon and Netflix began paying to have their software in the devices. I'm curious whether that's still a revenue source for manufacturers.
