First, I understand you are very angry because you lost a TV program that you like. Payment of the TV bill should be fast if the TV service company makes an auto confirmation system like e-commerce. Yes I understand that the blockchain is able to realize it all, with fast confirmation and no long waits.
In my opinion this is the fault of the TV service company, they should use auto payment confirmation instead of using manual confirmation. Indeed bitcoin is the right way to realize this, but it can't do much because there is still a lack of knowledge about the benefits of bitcoin.
I pay for my monthly satellite TV subscription with a bank transfer and for some obscure reason I forgot to pay it this month. I was still watching the World cup Cricket tournament, when a message popped up, saying that my account was in the arrears and they blocked my viewing.
Monthly direct debit services, 0 fees.
yup, in my opinion this is the right way out now, I also use the monthly auto debit service provided by the bank
