Verizon's revamped fees could lead to a la carte programming

Verizon wants to rattle the cages of content providers with a new viewership-based fee scheme.
The proposed plan calls for content providers being paid their fees for programming based on how many Verizon FiOS subscribers are watching their programs, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Such a scheme would not reduce the cost of pay-TV for consumers, but could stabilize retail prices in the long run, according to Verizon, which is the sixth largest pay-for-TV provider with 4.7 million subscribers.
