Companies can generally agree to sell you a product only as part of a package deal. You can't get the Happy Meal toy without paying for the burger and fries. So normally they could insist you can't get the cable service without paying for the modem rental. Whether they are allowed call it a "meal deal" or a "convenience fee" or a "special discount" or a "rental fee" is more about marketing than economics. |

I'm sure your general point stands, but you absolutely can. And in San Francisco, you technically can only buy the toy separately, though for much cheaper when paired with the meal.
