So I think this is a good model for consumers, but probably not great from a sales perspective. Think of the broadcasters as charging for "selling" their companies. I hate cable companies, but still worth thinking about why they don't do this presuming intelligence instead of stupidity (referencing good recent AHarris post).

> good model for consumers, but probably not great from a sales perspective That’s what regulation is for: The only thing we should be concerned about is the consumer, the employee, the normal person. This includes job security, but it also includes allowing a free market in the terms that is necessary. For TV channels, a free market is obviously an advantage, where the user can choose which channels to pay for and which not. (Btw, this is one of the types of business where TTIP will not influence existing EU legislation at all, but only bring today’s EU laws to the US)
