    The article is fatuous and glosses over the very real fact that people want *real* choices, not those dictated by cable companies supporting content that would not survive with out their bundling strategies. The argument about diversity is also pretty thin. Yes, there is diversity, but again, how many religious stations must there be and why do I have to have all of them? Why are there so many shopping and sports channels? I have over 100 channels and watch with any consistency 8 or 9 of them. The others get a micro-second of my time when channel surfing. The writer is correct that much of this debate will be made moot by internet access to these programs; mostly because cable companies refused to budge and adapt their practices to accommodate their customers wishes.
