For that matter, I also hope they don't start charging us for tv. If they put bluetooth on your tv, they could find out where you are when you watch stuff, as well as what you watch. Then we could transmit ads and art projects onto people's televisions. I hope bluetooth tracking doesn’t get Patriot Act-ed into America.

If you own a tv and watch it you must pay some 50 Pound p/year fee for this privilege or something like it. The way they catch you is that they have a device that scans the outside of your home for signals that the tv produces. If you are caught watching tv and have not paid your fee then the fine is really steep! That's one way to get people to quit watching so much tv!
