I like bundling.

there is no way in hell I could get all the channels I would want for cheaper if I had to buy them all individually.

the sports channels alone would top my current cable bill.


I also don't see how Cablevision has a winning case when they lead with the entire practice is illegal. A company should have the right to sell their products how they see fit.

Or should I get to sue food companies for giving me two more hot dogs than they do buns?

I agree that they don't have a prayer in court, I just think it's interesting that they're willing to go to court over it. Maybe it's just a PR move before a price increase.

Not if it is anticompetitive.
