Another reason to have a pre-paid cellphone. Frankly, I don’t know why we accept this kind of “use now, bill me later” service. All services which, for practical reasons operate this way, should have user-set maxima beyond which the service is discontinued automatically, and further debt is impossible. Unfortunately, sufficiently few victims occur, for this to be a non-issue for the rest of us.

According to the article in Consumerist.com, he used his slingshot to access the game over the net.

It would be funny (actually not that funny, but sad) if the NFL got wind of this, and tried to charge him the same amount (or more) for rebroadcasting the game over the net.

This means he still paid over $100/hour just to watch a football game.
…Must be great to have more money than brains. (Bliss X 2!)
