I agree with consumer groups fighting for regulations or legislation requiring multichannel video programming services to offer channels "a la carte" instead of in bundled packages. This is because offering channels in bundled packages often forces consumers to pay for channels they do not want or need, leading to higher costs and less choice. By offering channels "a la carte," consumers would have the freedom to choose and pay for only the channels they are interested in, leading to a more personalized and cost-effective viewing experience.

Additionally, offering channels "a la carte" would also promote competition among channels, as they would need to offer compelling content and pricing to attract and retain viewers. This could lead to a more diverse and innovative range of programming options for consumers.

Overall, implementing regulations or legislation to require multichannel video programming services to offer channels "a la carte" would empower consumers with more choice and control over their viewing experience, while also promoting competition and innovation in the industry.
