I'm concerned that as the cable companies lose their media fees, they will start charging for traffic volume, much like the cellular internet providers do today. How would you like a 2 gigabyte cap on your cable or DSL line, and $10/gig over that? My average downloaded traffic is already about 1 gigabyte per day, and still use the regular cable channels to source over over half of my TV viewing. The cable and telephone companies own the infrastructure and there is little to deregulate. They have us over a barrel. We'll be lucky if we can keep network neutrality as more cut their TV cable. The only thing holding me back from cutting the cord, is live access to the Patriots games. That is an expensive hobby.
