As much as I hate government intervention, I would like to see the cable and satellite industry opened up so I could buy jut the seven stations I watch without having to carry all the crap bundled into a monthly package.

It is with bundling that the government has already intervened to keep rotten programs and networks alive. They should be made to survive on their own.

I think something like this could be done equitably with something like:
1-12 stations for $8.00 each
12-18 = $6.00 ea
18- 24= $5.00 ea

...and so on with specific shows, events or movies available on pay per view.

Excellent idea!
