Port Orange, FL | The whole argument that we can't do a la carte in America is based on that different cable companies are the content holders and also the provides and will only give premium channels in package deals with channels no one watches simply to make more channels to sell more advertising time. It is so stupid and backwards as you say the rest of the world is moving ahead seeing that you need to change with the times, instead of trying to force things to remain statues quo.
In the end the fear that TWC has of being just another "dumb pipe" will be a reality because they did not change with the times. They are so busy looking backwards not seeing the forest through the trees, thinking that old business model is going to last forever as long as they squash innovation.
And just a side note about the whole you will pay a lot for one channel if they took it out of a package. Well I rather pay 5 bucks for 1 channel I will watch, then 35 bucks for 1 or 2 channels I watch and 50 added I have not intention to ever watch. But I gave up cable tv service 3 years ago, there is plenty of good OTA free programing. And what little I did watch over cable, now has migrated to also being online, such as The Daily Show. |
