From Public Knowledge: Stop Mega Comcast Coalition

Comcast is seeking permission from the Federal Communications Commission to merge with Time Warner Cable. This would result in a giant corporation on the path to dominate the high-speed broadband market.  If the merger is approved, Comcast-Time Warner Cable would control the wires in about half of U.S. households that subscribe to high-speed broadband. Its control over broadband connections, cable TV lineups, and the devices people increasingly use to access video content would give it make-or-break power over much of the content ecosystem.  That's why Public Knowledge has joined the Stop Mega Comcast Coalition to urge policymakers to reject Comcast’s attempt to acquire Time Warner Cable. The Coalition includes private companies, public interest groups, and industry associations that believe the merger would cause substantial harm to consumers.                                 The Coalition believes a competitive, dynamic and diverse media and technology marketplace is essential to America's economy, consumers and democracy. The Comcast-TWC merger threatens these ideals and runs counter to our antitrust and communications laws.
