Yeah, Youtube would be a poor substitute for channel surfing...
Media companies need to get together and go metered. All content available on demand, billed at a flat rate by the hour.
Consume 3 hours of CBC? CBC gets 3 hours * $0.15 per hour. Flip on 20 minutes of a Fox network show? Fox gets 0.3 * $0.15.
I think this model would work well. In fact, I think you could probably set the cost per hour up around $0.30. Based on a month of viewing 12 hours a day, that would bring the bill up to $108, which is comparable or right in the target zone of a premium cable/satellite package.
