In the letter, Britt said Time Warner Cable could offer customers the chance to pay for the CBS network on a standalone basis, known as the "a la carte" model, which is viewed as controversial in the U.S. cable industry. Time Warner Cable said it is waiting for CBS to accept or reject its proposal. (This story was fixed to correct in first paragraph to "offering new proposals") (Reporting by Liana B.
