Apple TV is now shipping. Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal thinks it's pretty cool.
Apple TV presages a paradigm shift for Broadband Wireless Internet Access Service Providers that have, to date, imposed "transfer limits" on the amount of data that users can download as part of base service fee.
Apple TV and similar video download services such as the recent deal between Amazon.com and TiVo that have the potential to go mainstream (users watching videos in a "normal" manner on a television rather than a computer) will have BWIA users unknowingly exceed "typical" limits such as 1 Gigabyte transfer per month.
It's a brave new world for BWIA Service Providers - brace for impact!
