ESPN360 is just wrong

The revamped ESPN360 lets you watch big sporting events live on the internet and in HD if you can stream it. I love the concept and was very interested in watching both EURO 2008 and Wimbledon using it. The problem is, I can't use it. I can't pay for it. I can't apply for it. The implementation is such a ridiculous model that I am surprised it has stuck around this long. The only way I could get it would be to switch ISP's. This reminds me of the net neutrality bs that will hopefully never come. I don't want a tiered system. I don't know of any consumer who does. All I want is the very cool service that ESPN offers. I'd be happy to pay for it. But alas, I cannot. They don't want my money. They want my money to go to someone else.
ESPN, this sucks. I believe you are better than this, but I have been wrong in the past (the early 90's) and I would not like to see this cool idea fade because of some marketing or finance crap business agreement.
