When many smart tv's display adverts and commercial apps, you could argue that the smart feature is subsidising the TV.

Good point.

The point I was trying to make was that from a market efficiency perspective, this kind of thing should not be a problem.

So it might be more expensive to remove the feature altogether, including the advertising revenue it would generate. Such is the cost of privacy, apparently.

So TV's nagging to have a connection setup is something we can look forward to then?
