FCC Expected to Back Pay-Per-Channel Cable TV

Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is expected to back 'a la carte' pricing in the industry, instead of bundled channels. Last years' FCC report on the subject found that most U.S Households would face higher television bills if they only paid for the channels they wanted to watch. However, the FCC is now releasing a revised report that will conclude just the opposite.

Pay-Per-Channel does better serve the customer IMHO. This is long overdue too. I live in Texas but really do not know that much Spanish, so why do I have two/three Spanish channels on my extended cable? Why am I paying for them? Good Question.
