As far as unbundling tv channels...they have been doing that here for a few years.
At one time you had to pay six to eight dollars a month on top of the basic bill for each bundle when maybe you only wanted one channel. Now you can pay three dollars for each individual channel....or as my sister just found out moving to a new provider... Ten cherry picked channels for twenty bucks..
Bugs me that local providers still charge a premium for HD channels.
