unbundlings
Breaking apart collections
Unbundlings are instances of separating something previously sold or offered as a package into individual components.
The term appears most often in business and policy contexts: The unbundlings of cable packages let customers pay only for channels they want.
Each unbundling breaks apart what was once unified—services, products, or features—so they can be priced or regulated separately.
