It would be pretty naive to think that this will not increase and I fully expect it to until they see sub numbers dropping in future.

Like with any business, they need to make money and having a separate line on the bill gives another opportunity for price rises.
It's interesting to note that Comcast TIVO service is also an additional $2.95 or it was when I last looked and there service isn't as advanced as VM.
