This is why they need to be treated like a utility.

Yeah, how would people survive without Game of Thrones on their PS3/PS4/Roku Box/Amazon Fire HD? *Sighs* 

Do you know what is a crazy thing? People actually live without paying for cable television or HBO subscriptions! I know, it's an amazing concept right. I haven't had cable/satelite television since I was 10 years old. 

So your litmus test for if something is right or wrong is if people can survive without it? Wow can't set the standard much lower

you know what's crazy you think it's about TV when it's about internet access, it's not about people surviving without TV it’s about internet providers blocking things unless you pay more for their own equipment, or those they made deals with.

If you don't think Comcast, Verizon, AT&T etc are too big or too powerful with not enough keeping them in check, I'd have to ask which you work for. Because this reminds me of how they pretty much extorted Netflix.

 

No my litmus test for whether or not something is a utility is whether or not people can functionally survive in our society without it. This is about television, not internet. Nobody has brought evidence that this app blocks people who are using Comcast internet, but a different HBO GO account.
