:said by Rob :I get 99 channels right now. I watch at most 10 of those. The others are 'fillers' to keep my (rising) cost of TV service down.
I doubt, seriously, that if A La Carte was available, that my 10 channels would be any cheaper.
Of course not, since the providers have to prove that Martin et al. are wrong they will raise the cost of service by some calculated amount so that every time you say you do NOT want a channel, they increase your total bill. (Seems to me the providers have basically said that is what they will do, because it costs more to tell the computer to only to send you what you want????)
They could easily provide a small number of different tiers.
