why not let the market decide on a la cart in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20148028 en Sat, 05 Dec 2009 05:07:57 EDT Sat, 05 Dec 2009 05:07:57 EDT Re: why not let the market decide on a la cart http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20149514 anon : You're kidding right? What market? Who does a cableco compete with in the vast majority of markets? Cablecos on the whole have no competition and that is why their service is lousy and they can bundle channels and force you to buy the bass fishing channel. They is no way they could get away with that if there was a market - so there is no market to decide anything.

Yes FiOS poses a threat. Can cable doesnt like FiOS. But FiOS has very small market share.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20149514 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 23:12:35 EDT Re: why not let the market decide on a la cart http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20149295 Ahrenl : For you maybe, and that's find.

Me and the 5 channels I watch, don't need to be paying $70's a month for 500 channels. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20149295 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:21:12 EDT Re: why not let the market decide on a la cart http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20148781 BF69 :

why not offer packages like today and a la carte and let the market decide which they want?

personally, I would stick with bundling as that's where the savings would be.
there is no market.

This "free market" crap only works when there's a "free market" how many cable companies compete in your town? ONE and that's all there is ever going to be. If you had 4 or 5 then fine "free market" rules the day.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20148781 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 20:00:15 EDT why not let the market decide on a la cart http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20148028 Corona : why not offer packages like today and a la carte and let the market decide which they want?
