Do you want A la Carte channels in the U.S.?
Prices will go so low due to many providers entering the market with lowww overhead cost you may not have to cut the cord.
The only question is how low will the indies be able to go? If prices go low enough, some Canadians who have “cut the cord” and cancelled their cable may be enticed to go back (I certainly would).

lol, have you noticed that the new Sling TV uses no equipment in the home?

Got to have internet in todays world anyway, title II will take care of the internet cost/caps, It is a two prong approach being used to come to a common goal. Welcome aboard the new low cost Television experience.
Get a look at this from Forbes. If you think you're gonna save money, guess what....

Just as in politics, the media wars to program the unprogrammed robot viewers/readers will be in full force with the media itself being on the chopping block this time, they are even trying to link job losses on A la Carte tv, the so called useful idiots read/view this junk and run with it.
There will be job losses for sure, but, it will come from the cable/satellite industry moving to streaming delivery, no more emplyoyees needed for a dish install, all online signups, no call center employees, no employees making set top boxes etc.. no more satellite building, launching, operating, and the downlink operations also,. Just as what happened to the print media and the record industry so too will it disrupt the tv industry, just a matter of time, looking like late 2016 for it to start.
Where the unprogrammed robots are getting their programming on the cost increase for A la Cart is the cost of the last mile internet connection cost, title II of the recently passed net neutrality regs (allowing communities/companies access to the infrastructure, ie. competition) will lower the cost for internet access.
consumers ideally want a package of 17 channels, with all the new companies streaming ( pun intended) into the market with their 20 buck skinny bundles one of them is sure to get it right with deep discounts compared to todays bundles.
These skinny bundles are just the beginning here in the U.S. following the route Canada has taken getting to A la Carte tv.
Many new over-the-top (OTT) digital services that have started up -- or will be -- are establishing so-called “skinny” TV packages of 30 channels or less

Until now, any newcomer looking to offer TV service in a region had to go through the onerous process of getting a broadcast license.
With net neutrality passage no longer can the content providers refuse to sell programming to the small upstart company here in the U.S., this was how big media kept a monopoly for eons, thats all over now, bring on all the new upstart tv providers also known as competition.
Same route Canada used to get to A la Carte.
The CRTC is now easing those rules by allowing newcomer companies with fewer than 20,000 subscribers to sell TV service without a license. It is also establishing a Wholesale Code that will lay out the rules under which broadcasters such as Bell-owned CTV and Shaw-owned Global must deal with new entrant TV providers. The rules will be finalized by September of this year.

You are confusing the Sports Bubble with A la Cart choice, please see the thread on the coming sports bubble pop here.
( this is creating the perfect storm for A la Carte TV.)

Sports has long been viewed as the glue holding the pay-TV bundle together, providing leverage for media giants like Disney to distribute wider groups of channels and secure higher fees from pay-TV operators.

Dude, you're starting to appear to be a spokesperson for some entity or entities that are lobbying for this and you're bombarding the internet with this "info".

“The stage is set,” said Rich Greenfield, a media analyst with BTIG Research. “As consumers are less interested in large bundles, somebody is going to get hurt in the process by asking for too much.”
The last mile has trumped the old "content is king" .
But cable providers, especially the smaller ones, are making a calculated bet, and some are refusing to pay up. Their profits increasingly are tied to selling broadband Internet service rather than video, and they are watching to see how many customers they will lose if they don’t offer the traditional bundle of cable networks. Unlike the video business, where customers can switch to satellite and other offerings, cable companies can have an advantage in the broadband arena, because there is less competition for selling Internet service in the markets where they operate, analysts said.
“You are going to see a lot of the smaller cable companies just drop video altogether,” Ms. Yong said.
this will only open the floodgates wider to the new next gen A la Cart offerings.

Just curious as to what price you think would be fair for that limited channel lineup?
Folks, on demand is the wave of the future. A selection of tv shows to choose from. Live tv will be dead for the most part other than news or sports or certain other things. Ala carte is good because it spurrs competition and lower pricing. That is what is needed for the consumer. This will encourage better programming and pricing.
