There are tons and tons and tons of organizations that will sell the operator of a network content to sell to that operator's subscribers directly. Most well known is the cable coop, who only exists to do just that. The problem is that what's been proposed is that the network operator be able to then turn around and offer those services as a whole sale level to another operator, on the same physical but not not layer 2, plant. That's what I don't think you can get contracts inked for.
I already pointed out that there are several companies that will handle or aggregate programming for you. See here: http://www.itvdictionary.com/**tv_content_aggregators.html<http://www.itvdictionary.com/tv_content_aggregators.html> And this company here: http://www.telechannel.tv/**overview.php<http://www.telechannel.tv/overview.php> I'm no expert in this space, but as I've pointed out multiple times, there are probably 50-100 small service providers in the US that provide video programming to their communities. I guarantee you at least most of them don't negotiate with all of the content providers themselves, on an individual basis.
There are way more than 100. NCTC has more than 1000 members themselves http://www.nctconline.org/
