Re: But why?

Under the current offering model by the programmers, A La Carte will prove to be much more expensive for the consumer.

ESPN for example, charges an extra premium if their "bundle" package isn't included in the contract with the MSO.

Unless the Programming providers (networks) adjust their pricing and delivery model, there will be price increases for A La Carte services, and we all know where price increases wind up, don't we.

That might be true, but if A La Carte is implemented in some form, my guess is those agreements are toast and will have to be renegotiated if it is mandated by the FCC. I for one could care less about sports channels and it bugs me that they are the most expensive. I want DIY!!!
