I just opt for not connecting them to the internet.

I'm guessing it's just a small matter of time before they start adding cell connectivity.

I'd imagine Verizon or ATT wouldn't charge too much since they'd be sending logs, voice snippets, and maybe a few images. If the TV companies offered to share the data, they could probably get cell companies to do it for free.

At which point I'd only buy TVs without them, or just buy projectors instead. That'd be too ridiculous.

Until they start shipping cellular modems or connecting to open and unsecured networks.
