John Shutt gave you a perfectly valid explanation as top why things would not go as you think with a la carte. I know it will fall on deaf ears, because it has done so countless times in the past.
While John's explanation is valid - given the FACT that one cannot buy cable programming ala carte today - his explanation assumes the worst possible outcome, should ala carte be forced on the multichannel services.
Frankly I do not agree with him, or you. See my response to John. Regards Craig ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org
