Re: But why?
said by GOLFnSUN  :said by tnroroc :If I had to bet, we will probably never see true ala-carte offered. What the cable co's. will offer is several more groups of packages, that in the end if you want to get just what you want, will still cost you what you are paying today.  I agree. If the FCC, in the unlikely event, demands a la carte pricing, the cable companies and telcos will merely price them so as not to be worthwhile ordering. those of us that own BIG satellite dishes know better. Ala Carte is the BEST way to go.most of the channels in basic packages cost 1.50 to 5.00 per month, but when you add expensive sports like ESPN then it goes up thru the roof
here's a link so you can see for yourself what we pay in ala carte

| * You must have a minimum of 5 or more services in your package before these services can be ordered.
** You must have a minimum of 10 or more services in your package before these services can be ordered. Is it really al-a-carte if I have to have a minimum number of stations before I can add something else?

Is it really al-a-carte if I have to have a minimum number of stations before I can add something else? well I have ALWAYS had more than 10 alacarte channels ordered anyway, so it's not been a issue, but technically it's still AL carte because I have a CHOICE of what channels to buy. and last time I called and asked the 5 or 10 was related to the LOW prices. you can pay a higher price and get one channel like BET |
