Why do that when Amazon or Apple or Hulu can just step in the middle and become the Internet version of a cable company? (May as well sell to them instead of the individual consumer.)
I'm still waiting for Amazon to raise the cost of Amazon Prime because of all this free stuff I don't need. I just want the fast shipping.

Ala Carte would be fab and would be very modern. or micro-payments on a per show basis basically super cheap Video On demand say 4-16 shows for a $1 for example with reruns being cheaper.
In the age of computers we should be able to customize our channel choices like buying food from a restaurant.
It would give companies much better feedback than giving them so many channels and not knowing how much their consumers value them.
In this age of streaming, DVRs, On Demand and the like this 'a few packages fit all' is absurd and does not help the cable companies get the correct consumer feedback they desire.

Wrong. If we only paid for the channels we want it's cheaper. $2.50 a channel...
I only want 3! Oh heck I Could probably find 2 more.... Sports accounts for 40% of what makes cable so expensive it's $60/month for cable that is $24 of my bill if you could get only sports for $24 wouldn't that be cool? I'll take $36 for non sports.
