Enough people show interest and they might add it.  Normally international channels are a harder sell, but at least Verizon show more interest in adding some since they will get additional income.  Now try and get some small national channel to existing packages is a impossible sell.

If they can't squeeze an extra $50 out of you by doing so, you aren't going to get your Africa channel. It's ALL about money- screw the customer, get dollars.

Cable providers have a fixed cost to connect to a content provider. Plus it takes up a slot that is limited. So they all have to decide if it makes business sense for any content they wish to provide.

And like any business, they want to make a profit as well.
