It's funny that this is what people claim the want (unbundling)! Basically, if unbundling ever really happens, you're going to be paying the same amount of money for 20 channels as you currently do for 200.

A law is not the answer.

For me it's about not paying for ads and being able to watch an episode on my schedule. I'd rather pay the same for the 20 shows I actually watch and see them without commercial interruption after I've put the kids to bed, than pay for 200 I don't care to watch while being sprayed by advertisements hoping that a show doesn't air while the family is eating dinner or tucking the kids into bed.
