Depends on which companies you mean. Cable companies are basically contracturally forbidden by the content providers from using a la carte. The content providers would get a smaller share of cable revenue under a la carte while a greater part of the revenue would go to system maintainence. So, the content providers would lose money, the cable companies cannot do anything, and price would not change much. -- ISCABBS - the oldest and largest BBS on the Internet telnet://bbs.iscabbs.com Professional Geographer Geographic Information Science researcher |
