the fcc plans to 'suggest' 'a la carte' pricing for cable channels instead of those ridiculous packages offered now.

in a bit of a reversal [bugmenot login], the fcc now surmises that consumers would pay less a la carte than in the current package scenario since consumers would only pay for what they'd want

A year ago, an initial report concluded that consumers would save money on an a la carte plan only if they subscribed to fewer than nine channels, the Journal said. The average cable subscriber watches 17 channels, the FCC staff found, suggesting a rate increase of anywhere from 14% to 30%, according to The Journal said.

the cable industry will likely 'resist' this to say the least...
