You do really need to read the thread before you post.

I already pointed out that there are several companies that will handle or 
aggregate programming for you.

See here:

And this company here:

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.
