(Fwd) Re:Open Media?

[Dave Germiquet]

Hi,

We actually have HD TV over IP Now that people are currently using Net Flix.
I use Net Flix for movies and shows and I myself am worried about the costs.
Are they raising prices per usage to get rid of competition like netflix? I
don't know.

People don't have to run file servers but, watch tv. Net Flix is a
comparable to having cable or satellite, but you don't want to use it.

Does Rogers over charge for cable because there a monopoly?
Does Bell over charge because they are a monopoly?

Are there people saving money by not having cable and using services like
netflix?
