Re: This needs to stop A law saying "only this business model is allowed" is sort of arbitrary. Your goal is to get the shows you want while paying the minimum for your cable TV, while watching the least amount of commercials. There are more fair and efficient ways to accomplish that.
If you're going to pass a law, have it treat forced bundling as unfair trade. That way, your cable company can drop the channels that people don't want, or pay a lower price for them. Then "a la carte" would be possible, and Viacom couldn't pass the risk from their crappy shows onto the broadcasters.
Ultimately, it will make sense for every show to be sold on demand per episode, the ultimate "a la carte". Perhaps a "with commercials" version could be sold for a lower price. |
