"Unbundling" is completely stupid. Be careful what you ask for because you are going to wind up paying the same amount for your 20 channels as you do now for your 200. That's just simple business and economics. The marginal cost to deliver you a channel is zero.
- jeremyjh 13y agoImagine there is a channel - BlubTV - that NOONE would subscribe to if it were unbundled. Yet the cost of producing it is not zero. Unbundling eliminates the tax we pay to support useless TV that people only watch out of pure desperation.
- pbreit 13y agoIt's the opposite. A channel with limited appeal would likely need to pay the cable provider to get included. This is all very basic economics and human behavior.
