I've just spent three months trying cable and have decided to cancel it. At this point one thing would entice me back: channels a la carte. I like watching sports sometimes and occasionally like watching a Discovery Channel-type show in Spanish and seeing how much I can understand, but aside from those two things, I don't get much out of it that I couldn't get from Hulu.
- btilly 15y agoThe problem with channels a la carte is if you have two competitors, one of whom bundles content and the other of whom competes a la carte, there is a strong tendency for them to get into a ruinous price war. Since people already do bundle, that makes getting into an a la carte variation very dangerous.
