I don't beleive this is the case. What chennels do you beleive are subsidising Speed? You can already order it and some other channels a la carte on some services.
If you pay $43 a month for 120 channels (DishTV), that is $.35 per channel. I watch maybe 30 channels. You don't think those channels would rather have $1.40 each? I know it isn't evenly distributed, but all $120 have to colectively be profitable for the individual entities broadcasting them, or they would pull them. This just gives me control, not them.
