If the customer must get the broadcast channels (and not the basic tier),
aren't there still additional subscriber fees associated with them, and
thus, isn't the customer still paying for something they don't want or
even need? If this is the case, this is still a "bundle" to me.
Technically, even if the ISP services and HBO service is put together, by
definition, this is a "bundle". But I realize this isn't the point. It
would be an interesting progression, for HBO to be willing to provide
their service stand alone. I wish this were the case (although, I still
wouldn't subscribe to it). And even if it were, I rather doubt it has
much significant force to break the conglomerates down to un-bundle their
offerings.
