Metrocast rate increase -- 6%??

With all the new digital technology in the cable system, why can't they move to a "pick your channels" pricing model? There are probably 20 or so channels I'd choose to have out of the well over 100. If the cable companies knew who subscribed to each channel, they'd have more leverage back to the content providers when price increases loomed. I'm on the Time Warner system and am pretty unsatisfied with the channels offered and the quality of their internet service. There has to be a better way.
