I would Strongly disagree with that estimate. It's one UNreferenced throw away line, unlike other points he's made in that talk/article. Where is the evidence for this?

Per subject, maybe, and it certainly doesn't take into account a shared subscription, like multiple kids in a household, or doing everything else people use the net for besides a particular course.
