It's been resurrected in my mind because of this whole Mediacom-Big Ten Network dustup. I just don't see how the current model used by Mediacom can survive much longer. That may be bad news for the (many) dozens of channels that most of us don't care about. Rather than riding the coattails of someone else, wouldn't it be better all the way around for a network (or show, for that matter) to rise or fall on its merits? Thanks for the post.
