I like this development and I hope others follow suit.

I'm sitting here thinking how much I miss constant leeching, life hasn't
been the same since the caps came on. Now I'm thinking do I like it enough
to pay $150 a month for the pleasure.

Maybe not, but lets see if someone comes in at $129.00 for example.
