In one line

Ad insertions bill per thousand, but a Channel Assembly channel bills every hour it runs.

What gets missed

Two products share one bill. Ad insertion meters per thousand insertions, while Channel Assembly meters per running channel hour, so a linear channel with no audience still accrues hours. Ad delivery is per GB.

Bills the same way

These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
