Title: Tough *feces*ski Post by: Uisce Beatha on May 30, 2008, 06:55:26 AM http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080530-civil-rights-groups-blast-a-la-carte-cable.html
Quote Their statement says that Martin's plan will leave niche minority channels, which often depend on being bundled in big packages, in the lurch. "Wholesale à la carte would strike a deadly blow..." they write, "by eradicating the benefits of bundling. Viewers of minority programming would suffer as a result. It is difficult enough to launch and earn carriage of these channels. We are baffled by the Commission's interest in throwing obstacles in the way of distributing this programming." *fudge* them. If I have to pay $15 for Setanta they can pay $0.75 for the Cambodian Transvestites & Steeplechase channel.
