That would work... if one channel would cost 10 cents/month.

However the movie industry would rather have you pay $20 per month for it.



Processing the payment costs 30 cents. How the heck would such a service not operate at a loss?


If only there were organizations that would charge a fee once a month for all content providers on their delivery service and distribute to companies providing content a share of what they charged based on the number of customers...


I'm sure large volume sellers don't pay 30 cents per transaction.

Also, if you think a bit no one's going to order just one channel. You could also charge for a year in advance if it's that cheap.

Why do you care about Hollywood's profits anyway?
