They don’t need your internet for a connection




I'd like to hear more how that could work. If I get a new TV and never configure it for access from Day 1, how would it connect to the Internet or some unknown service with I guess Internet access as a proxy? On its own?

Same way cars do it. Built in SIM card

I don't think we are at that level yet. A car is a minimum 20k$ object and a SIM card is a fraction of that cost, and car vendors try to sell premium functions with subscriptions. But for a 300$ TV, is a SIM with a data plan still a good investment?
