I think they are writing this, to cover their a**es, in the case where their business model doesn't work, and they need to revise their P&L projections, without closing shop. I think this will be a term that will be analyzed over their full subscriber list, rather than a single customer. If in fact their model isn't working, they may take the highest percentage of inbound subscribers, and eliminate them. Verizon used to do this with their EV-DO customers. Only the worst were alerted that they may be violating the Terms of Service (I certainly was one of those high users, with my streaming Slingbox, and, thankfully, I never had a problem from Verizon regarding EV-DO service)..

Of course, this is only my opinion, but, it seems more reasonable, then if they are policing every single account they subscribe.

And, in the worst case? OK, you have to lose your account .... just don't prepay more than $50-$100 at a time, and that's your downside ...
