"Is it fair that we charge all viewers when it's really only those who skip the ads that are requiring fees to go up?"

Is it fair that we charge all viewers for all channels when its really only a couple channels viewers want to watch? Put that in your pipe and smoke it,jackass content providers!!!

Except that the number of channels offered is s function of your cable/satellite service, not of the individual content providers.

Let's face it: the fairest model is usage based. That is, offer X number channels to chose from, but charge based on the number of minutes of programming viewed/recorded.

A lot of the content providers require the purchase of groups of channels. Their are not really that many providers offering cable content.
