Maybe you never used to spend more than $10/month on video, but most Americans have been spending an order of magnitude more than that.



People pay 10-20 times that for cable. It surprises me when people commenting think no one will pay for multiple services. Sure you will, but which ones will make the cut?


Ok, don’t get me wrong:

I pay for the basic tv package as well.

My point is I don’t watch enough on-demand video to justify another 2 Netflixes on top of that.


Some stats too back that up? More than 50% of USA population spend >$100 per month on video? A family of 4 would be spending $400+ on video??


Pricing is per household, so a family of four spends the same as an single individual.
