Your guide to residential broadband bandwidth caps | Tecca
From Tecca:
"As video consumption shifts from DVD to streaming, music consumption gravitates online, gaming goes on-demand, and a proliferation of cloud computing services ensures an almost constant stream of data flowing to and from our laptops, desktops, tablets, and phones, there's one obvious direction our overall internet consumption is heading: up. Way up. The companies that deliver our precious internet service to us see both a challenge and an opportunity: meet increasing demand, and make increasing revenue.
But are they going too far?..."

4 Ways to Watch TV for Free This Summer - Yahoo! Finance
4 Ways to Watch TV for Free This Summer - Yahoo! Finance
From the report: "There's enough free entertainment out there to make you wonder why you're paying $60 a month (or more) for cable. From the network news to serialized primetime shows to cable programming, the show you want can almost always be found online. In most cases, all the viewer has to do to access it is watch a short 30-second ad before the opening scenes, or a longer two-minute ad where a commercial break would normally be. Not a bad price, considering most of us watch ads anyway when we tune into our expensive cable channels."
