What he means is for bundling of cable modem service and cable TV service. Let's take Cox Communications for instance.

I can order their internet service(HSI) for $40 a month. If I don't have at least basic cable I get charged an extra $10 on top of that. Their basic cable(24 channels) service is only $12. So basically you say why not pay $2 more and get basic cable? This is route I went with since it will cost more than $2 a month for my satellite provider to activate my locals.
