Great article, that kind of dovetails with a couple of posters in this thread....
Before streaming happened, a common subject was whether a la carte channels would happen via legislation.
But this is a different animal then a la carte cable.
Right now at Boma there is a 'bundle' price for all the food, soft drinks, etc. you can eat (if you choose to upcharge for a special coffee or an adult beverage there's that option - much like a cable customer can upgrade their bundle w/ HBO). But it doesn't matter if you enjoy all the flavorable options or just stick to the kiddie table and eat mac & cheese or chicken fingers, you pay the same price for each adult.
What looks like is coming down the pike isn't like eating a la carte at a restaurant.
Imagine going to Yachtsman. The host or hostess shows you to your table. You then pay the host or hostess for use of the table.
Then a waiter asks if you would like to start with a drink. You do, then you then pay the waiter for that drink.
Then a *different* waiter comes and asks if you want an appetizer. You say yes, then you pay the waiter for that.
Then yet another waiter comes to your table wanting to take your 'steak & starch' order. And yes, you pay for that.
And right behind yet another waiter asks if you would like to add a lobster tail or some creamed spinach on the side, who needs to be paid.
And a desert waiter who needs to be paid.
And an after dinner coffee waiter that needs to be paid.
How many 'apps' is a customer going to want on their screen? And how many charges are they going to be willing to pay? For simplicities sake, the customer may raise the standards of what they want to deal with, so what they choose to subscribe to better have a LOT of content that they want...
