 That's just the internet business model. Underprice your service, get a
 mass of users and start raising prices once they're used to your
 service.

 Given the competition out there, it seems foolish. Netflix could get
 away with that a couple of years ago, now not so much.

 I like the idea of paying for *1* service, watching it for a couple of
 months, then cancelling and switching to another service instead of
 keeping a couple of services at once. Since they're not contracted
 services, why not?
