I don't have TV and use mobile 4G internet (so I'm outside the reach of Murdoch!)

I do pay the TV-tax so that I can legally use the BBC iPlayer. Also, a lot of TV channels are available online (like German, Swedish and American ones) if I find I watch to watch German, Swedish or Danish coverage of the Olympics.

Total cost of about Ģ30/month including home phone!

Shortest route is seven miles each way. I do a multi-mode commute; bike to the train station, and then from the train station to work.

I live in Livermore CA, and work in Newark CA.

10.5 to 15 miles depending on route. Rural Michigan, not far from Ann Arbor. No bike paths, no sidewalks, either no or very little shoulder, 50+ MPH roads.
