A la carte TV - It's a good thing.
I don't see how breaking the bundling is a bad thing. Take the ESPN/ESPN2 bundling thing. If ESPN2 had anything worth watching, it would be delivered without having to be bundled with something that people would actually watch.

As it's currently implemented, bundling is simply a way for companies to force unwanted programming onto subscribers.
