At the very least, you also need to look at how much of the programming is original vs. reruns of already existing content.
I have a strong hunch that if we actually did these numbers, we'd see that there are a few programs that are way more expensive to produce than others. (ESPN and sports licensing fees come to mind).
Which means bundling artificially props up overpriced content - I'm really not sure how you can come to the conclusion that that is good for everybody.
