Regardless of what we want, things are about to change. With Google TV and HULU coming, we can't fill the bandwidth and expect the same service. If we are deciding to accept TV's with Internet connections, the bandwidth is already used up for other things. ATT and Verizon are already struggling to provide the pipe and are generally failing. If you have a 4G phone, you may have already seen the degradation. ATT just bought some bandwidth from Qualcomm to bolster their pipe, but keep in mind Flo TV was a flop. Maybe people aren't lining up for Internet TV. If Internet is going to compete with cable and satellite, Then Internet pipes are going to have to get MUCH larger.

Go to your closest WalMart and see the new TV's. Most all have, YouTube, NetFlix, Facebook and Twitter apps built in. The issue is being forced upon us and the carriers cannot be expected to just take it lying down. If you remember back when the IPhone 4G came out, the carriers did away with cheap "unlimited" service. They put a cap on data. Sprint is the only one I know of with "cheap" unlimited data plans. That's probably because no one uses Sprint. If Sprint catches on, they too will be doomed to higher prices. It's already been determined we will go this way, the questions are just how to pay for it. Soon the desktop will go the way of the Dodo bird and life will center around the Tablet, Cell Phone, and TV. Just think of a life sitting in the Lazy Boy, watching Sarah Palin taking the oath of office while blogging on FR on a 60 inch 3D HDTV. I don't know if I could take the 3D glasses blogging though.
