From Arstechnica:
"“I thought the Comcast/NBCU merger was beyond the pale,” Copps told Ars. “I was just stunned to see a couple years later they come back and they have $45 billion to pick up the second largest cable company.”
Comcast argued that the deal isn’t anti-competitive because Comcast and Time Warner don’t compete against each other for cable and Internet subscribers in any individual cities or towns, but Copps isn’t buying that argument."
Damn it, reality, I was attempting satire!
(also: ““The impact on customer bills is always hard to quantify. We’re certainly not promising that customer bills are going to go down or even increase less rapidly,” Comcast Executive VP David Cohen said in a conference call today in response to a question on price.”)
