   and another well informed consumer puts in his 2 cents

   you guys don't understand... if this happens, you will likely pay *more* for cable
   
   the content providers bundle channels, and pricing is based upon subscribers, if anything ought to be fixed it ought to be the practice of the content providers bundling
   
   if they are not forced to stop bundling the channels, cable companies will still have to buy them, and because not every subscriber will be subscribed to that channel, the advertising revenue of the content providers will be cut... so they are going to charge more on the contract
   
   the cost per channel will sky rocket.. you will literally get less for the same price or possibly even a higher price
   
   don't look at the cable companies, look at the content providers
