kudos:5 | Funny thing... is that the same companies who want to impose per-byte billing are opposed to a la carte video.
I'd accept the one as long as it was accompanied by the other. *And* I had an option to choose a different vendor. |

The MSOs and Telcos are just middle men when it comes to TV -- whether it's delivered through traditional QAM channel delivery or delivered via IP packets, these companies are just transporting content from producers to end users. The MSOs are stuck buying the groupings that the content producers are willing to sell -- that's why every PayTV provider's channel package is almost identical. |
