The market in the United States – obviously with a far greater user base and capability to sustain more providers – is already ringing the alarm bells.
Quote:
Simply put, paying for ESPN if you don’t like sports, or CNN and MSNBC if you don’t watch news, might have been irritating, but those millions of cable subscriptions spread out the revenue in a way that made dozens and dozens of channels available and affordable.
The dream of a more a la carte system, where you pay for what you watch, has turned out to elusive, primarily because there’s no way – at least yet – to adopt that where the cost doesn’t become onerous, and maybe even prohibitive, for many consumers.

We've certainly come a long way from a basic entertainment package being in a 3 for £30 cable service with a basic phone and broadband service. Even Virgin's original VIP package at £100 in 2010 looks a veritable bargain once you add a £25 a month broadband to even a small selection of the above.
