1030:(Pay TV) have bundled TV channels since the inception of both. In the early years of the cable industry this was necessary due to the technological constraints associated with allowing and blocking channels transmitted via analog methods. The progress towards complete cable, internet, and telephone packages gave subscribers many more options as well as offering hundreds of channels. The "package" price depends on the level of service a customer prefers within each bundle. The services range from low speed internet and minimum channels to high speed internet and the addition of many premium channels. In the US prices for pay TV have doubled in the last twenty years, averaging 6% per year, while wages have remained the same for nearly 20 years causing dissatisfaction and many cancellations. Costs have risen 53% since 2007 and

For example, two companies both sell a bundle containing a computer and an operating system, but one has poor-quality hardware and one has poor-quality software. The consumer wants to buy each company's good product, but can't unless they pay for two computers and two operating systems and throw one of each away. A new company which sells only hardware or only operating systems also has to persuade the consumer to throw away a purchased product; this is a

Number 1 can be read as simply that a bundle should cost less than buying each item separately; however, even if the bundle were to cost the same in dollars, a bundle may still be an appealing value proposition for a consumer, as they do not have to hand-pick each accessory and add-on item (this is the 2nd and 3rd point).

increasingly important role in many industries (e.g. banking, insurance, software, automotive) and some companies even build their business strategies on bundling. In bundle pricing, companies sell a package or set of goods or services for a lower price than they would charge if the customer bought all of them separately. Pursuing a bundle pricing strategy allows a business to increase its profit by using a discount to induce customers to buy more than they otherwise would have.

Revenue cannot be increased without bundling because as the seller increases the price above $ 60 for one of the goods, one of the consumers will refuse to buy it. With bundling, a seller can generate revenue of $ 320 by bundling the products together and selling the bundle at $ 160. Thus, bundling can be considered a form of
