| Really? Cable companies have been charging us for hundreds of channels we never watched, never wanted and refuse ala-carte services. Ask any cable subscriber and you will probably see that almost ALL OF THEM want the ability to lower their outrageous cable bill by allowing them to CHOOSE which channels they actually want to pay for!
It amazes me the gall they have not to want to pay for these content providers fees when they are forcing us to pay for all these channels we really do not want!
Retransmission is nonsense. Almost ALL of cable channels are retransmitted! Cable companies are mostly just plumbers, not content providers or creators. Except in the few cases of local news like Channel 12, NY1 or FiOS1 ALL channels are actually retransmitted. The only difference is the major networks are broadcasters.
It is about time the FCC and Congress steps in and forces ala-carte services! Personally I am tired of paying all this money for channels I NEVER watch. Who is with me on this? |

Not to mention the number of these "channels" that carry info-mercial programming. They're only interesting channels for a portion of the broadcast day.
