Nowadays I think the "flat rate" model makes more money, most people seem to 
be happy to pay a premium to have the knowledge that they *could* 
watch/surf/talk as much as they wanted.

I suspect the TV companies are doing what they feel will make most money, if 
they switch to no adverts and charge the customers more then I suspect a lot 
of people would be unwilling to pay and would prefer the adverts.  What they 
need is a two-tier system, where you can pay extra to have channels with no 
adverts, but not sure how that might work.  Those sort of systems can make 
more money than having just one product.
