The moronic battle of New York's Masters of the Universe highlights a problem for cable TV. At some point the greedmeisters must confront a fact: given the choice, most subscribers don't want 500 channels, just a few favorites. But the a la carte option won't happen. Why? it would put many cable channels out of business, which given their ownership by cable-system operators would be a big dent indeed. Also, it might make cable cheaper, and we don't want that, not with our cash flow.
