kudos:2 | OK, If Everyone Plays Along I question the "need" to force corporate entities to deliver content a la carte on the premise of family values. Perhaps parents should fulfill their parental obligations. Or better yet, if access to such "filth" is such a hardship, maybe parents should step away from the TV, cancel their service, and partake in "family" activities.
Family values aside, if Martin wants to shove a la carte down content providers' throats, then it should be for all providers, to include telco, sat, cableco, IPTV providers, etc.
Side note, I'm a little miffed by the NCTA's comments that support continued bundling to create cost-efficiencies for minority and/or women-focused content. I think the fact that the content providers need to "force" delivery of this content says something about the desire for the content in the first place. |
