>No, sorry, but you're wrong. It isn't the cable companies. It's the content providers, who usually own several channels. If the cable company wants channels A & B (the ones people want), they also must carry C & D (that people don't want). Cable company can't unbundle because no one would take C & D and then they couldn't pay the content provider.
Okay, revision B. Some corporate a-holes somewhere are forcing cable subscribers to pay for channels they don't want instead of offering channels a la cart for a reasonable fee. So screw those corporate a-holes. Get yourself a Roku player and a NetFlix streaming account.
Is that better? :)
