I also very much like the idea of unbundling the cable channels: as it is now you are forced to take one of a few available packages for the convenience of the cable companies. There is no good reason consumers shouldn't be able to pick and choose the channels they want at no additional charge per channel.
The key to making this all work, though, is making the rules specific, unambiguous, easily enforceable, and the penalties strong enough to assure maximum compliance. Once that system is in place, the overall "chilling effect" that many fear will be moot: it's uncertainty that is chilling.
