What is "digital media" for the purpose of this bill?
I would imagine that would be "in-room" movies at hotels...broadband purchases of movies via Netflix and other vendors, and iTunes, etc. downloads.
I suspect you're right, but without defining "digital media," all we've got is our imaginations. :)
