Re: How hard would it be for cable to offer "a la carte"
There is nothing to say you wouldn't still have bundled tiers in addition to a la carte. That is what we see with the big dish market. You have both a la carte pricing and discounts when you buy more channels and/or prepay a few months in advance.
A la carte prices would only drop further if expanded as they would have to compete even harder for subscribers. Prices would drop and programming improve if these program providers had to compete for the dollar instead of get a free ride in basic forced on us tiers. |
