re: Intel to offer unbundled cable service through set-top box

Read an article about this awhile back that mentioned prices not being as cheap once they're unbundled. For instance, ESPN might "only" cost each subscriber $5, but that's because it's bundled with 10-15 OTHER channels owned by Disney that millions of people might not want. So if Disney starts missing out on that revenue? They'll simply make the a la carte ESPN option $20/mo.

Why shouldn't sports fans pay for their product?
Why should grandma subsidize sports fans with her cable subscription even though she never watches ESPN?
If ESPN is valued by sports fans then they should pay the costs necessary to support it.
