You have as much soveriegnty as you need - you're free to accept the package or decline the package. Just because you don't like what's on the menu, that doesn't mean you don't have a choice. And it certainly doesn't mean that you should get to dictate how someone else provides a service to you by using the law to force them to provide it to you in the manner you desire - that's not a free market either.
Look at what the options are available to consumers. The consolidation of the media and cable/satellite companies into two oligopalic markets has resulted into a situation where the basic packages and price structures are normalized accross the market. That means I'm FORCED to accept the packages everywhere or decline the packages everywhere.
"Just because you don't like what's on the menu, that doesn't mean you don't have a choice."
UGH, THERE IS NO MENU NOW, ONLY A BUFFET.
"And it certainly doesn't mean that you should get to dictate how someone else provides a service to you by using the law to force them to provide it to you in the manner you desire - that's not a free market either."
The government is fully in it's place to protect consumers by ensuring that competitive markets exists. If the technology exists to allow every consumer to pick what media they wish to consume, then they should be given that choice.
