Boston Globe column on A La Carte cable

Since it is a topic that doesn't seem to be getting as much press as Net Neutrality lately, I figured I'd post a link to Boston Globe columnist Alex Beam's column published yesterday.

 Here is a snippit from Mr. Beam's column:

''A la carte" is an interesting issue, because it aligns right-wing ''family-friendly" religious nuts with cranky, cheeseparing pseudo-libertarians like myself. The ''family" types want to buy just the channels that show ''Herbie the Love Bug: Fast and Spurious"; I just want to save a buck. Who's helping us fight the power? Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin has made noises about favoring a la carte but seems reluctant to push the pedal to the metal. Populist presidential aspirant Senator John McCain is said to be cooking up some legislation that would impose some a la carte pricing on Big Cable, but it hasn't appeared yet.
