Here in BC, (and probably elsewhere too), Rogers has a clause in the @Home license that really makes me uneasy.
I'm just pulling figures out of my a**, but after the first gigabyte of transfer per month they may charge you with $1.00 CDN/100 kBytes. I've never heard of it being enforced, but I know they could send me a bill for several thousand dollars on a fairly quiet month. Ulp!
(If anyone can verify this and come up with some proper figures, I'd be much obliged. I can't find my bill anywhere. Secondly, this could probably be thrown out since it hasn't been enforced, but IANAL.)

Honestly, the last time I heard this much speculation, pointed silence, and rumer-mongering around Slashdot was....
....April Fools?
Call me cynical, but I got played for a sap then, and I don't really intend to this time around.
Transmeta may come out with something Really Cool - but until They say something official about it, it doesn't really affect me.
