Canada caps basic cable fee, ends TV 'bundles'

Canada's television regulator on Thursday capped the price for basic cable at Can$25 (US$20) while ordering broadcasters to offer specialty channels a la carte instead of in large, pricey bundles.
The basic package would include local and regional news and information programs, which the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) said allow Canadians to participate in the nation's democratic, economic, cultural and social life.
But beyond that, Canadians will be able to pick and pay only for the extra channels they want, starting in 2016 when the new rules take effect.
This the US ever adopts something like this?

While I don't hate the concept, I don't want the government thinking they need to step in
