Interesting point. I hearken back to a different discussion about amenity fee increases. Numbers-wise it seems like a lot but over the past 20 or so years, when inflation is taken into account, the increase was something like $5 per month in real money. Not outlandish by any means.
Everything is going up. Maybe, rather than castigating the powers-that-be in TV for such increases as there have been, maybe we should be thanking them for holding the line on things as well as they have.
