It's a good point. Conceivably it could be a positive development. The only challenge is that you have to shut off or pay for all of a provider's content, so you still have to pay for stuff you don't want.
Maybe the ultimate endgame is to pay for individual shows. I wouldn't mind that, as I would probably watch less television as a result.
Of course, Comcast is charging me a large monthly fee and then also trying to charge me for individual shows. That will not stand.
