Boo-hoo.  Now, they'll have to compete in the marketplace, creating
compelling content for their virtual channels.  A few will, many will not.
And, they can run promos on their main channels, something like "watch the
new channel your cable company doesn't want you to watch."  Tacky, but with
existing distribution, it will be effective.  Or "Ask your cable company why
they won't let you watch the new digital channel your neighbors watch for
free with rabbit ears."
