I'd really like my cable company to offer an "A La Carte" pricing structure so that I could order, and pay for, the cable channels that I want instead of being forced to buy some idiotic 'package' in order to get the two or three channels within.
I don't watch NatGeo, or DIscovery, or E! so why am I being forced to pay for them? I don't watch sports so paying for 600 ESPN channels ticks me off. If someone wants football 24/7 let them pay $20/month for it.
A good friend of mine in Paris gets (really) high speed internet (with no data cap), 200+ channels (including a lot in HD), and a telephone land line with free calls to land lines in 30 countries (including the US).
He pays less than $50 per month because the French have something called "competition" in the marketplace. He can choose among 7 different providers.
Oh yeah. He also has a really nice cell phone (talk/text/data) plane that costs him $30/month.
