à la carte seems to be getting closer, according to an Ars Technica article. Get ready for a major battle from the cable companies and satellite providers in the coming weeks. While I do like the concept of this, if it doesn't translate into me saving money, I have no need for it.

Those who are a tired of paying for channels that they never watch will like the bill's opt-out provision, which will give cable and satellite subscribers the ability to cancel channels on an individual basis. The legislation says that anyone electing to do so would receive a "credit on the monthly bill… for such blocked channels in an amount equal to the amount that such distributor pays for the right to provide such blocked channel."
