why they can't create a choose your channels plan is beyond me. not to mention why do sat providers require a contract. it's certainly not to cover install fees/cost of new customer acquisition.
Cable providers cannot do à la carte just yet because the various networks will not allow it. Food Network doesn't just want to sell Food Network... they also want to sell Travel, HGTV, DIY, etc.

Over the next couple years there are going to be some pretty big changes. Customers want à la carte.
