Well the cable executives and their internal strategy and finance departments are fairly sure it breaks down and this is playing out in their competitive responses and mid to long range business plans. BR in Philadelphia is very very candid about this in private.
 
The law is not out of bounds since the cable companies are regulated monopolies and as such nothing they do is optimal for consumers or society. That said it won't pass and it doesn't need to pass. I think you are missing my point which is that this is coming regardless.
 
Content providers offer all the value but are forced to give away profits at monopoly pricing to a provider of a service that is soon to be commodititzed. They will not continue to do this because the free market and their shareholders won't allow them to now that alternative distribution is becoming available.  There may still be content aggregators who bundle content for purchase by consumers who either don't care about price and just want everything, are not too savy, or who just want things to stay the same --  but that would contradict the way everything else having to do with the internet has played out over time.   the internet is a place where you get exactly what you want and screen out stuff you don't.  People tend to like that.   Whether that is good for society or not is debatable...but it's good for a prospective ACC network if it focuses on digital.
