In some ways it's not. All of the "skinny bundle"/streaming TV services unfortunately require a bundle of some sort which of course means some channels are unwanted (unfortunately), but Sling Blue w/ one add on package hits me for $30 a month. I can't get cable with comparable channels for anywhere near that (last I checked comparable cable was about $65), but yeah it's similar in that they're both types of bundles. One's just a smaller package than the other...
I doubt we'll see true build your own bundle a la carte setups anytime soon as some of these channels, such as ESPN, require that they be part of a 'base package' and not offered in any kind of add-on bundle in order for a company to carry them.
