I am just guessing but I imagine their problem with it is would be lost revenue. If you are paying say $50 for 100 stations and all of a suddent things are al-la-cart and you only want say 20 of those 100 stations, which you would now pay $20 (assuming some sort of base price) that cable company stands to lose a lot of money that way. Seriously who is actually going to want a $100+ a month cable bill if they don't have too.
