I hate that ala carte is not more prevalent in many things. I
resent bundling. Sometimes bundling is counter productive. For
example, about a year ago I got tired of paying $60 a month for cable
service, so I called them and asked them to take me down to the lowest
level - $10 a month for network tv only. A month later I got my first
$10 cable bill - but I'm still getting the $60 tier. I don't know if
they know it and I don't care. But it's funny, if something goes
wrong with the cable, or if they take away a channel or a channel goes
out, I won't be able to call and complain about it because I'm not
supposed to be getting it. Funny stuff. Bundling and package deals
make me sick.
