Might as well merge ... they are both crap.

Time Warner Cable sucks you in with their internet..once you have high speed internet if you want to quit their TV services and go to Directv or elsewhere, instead of paying 35 bucks a month for high speed internet, you end up spending 60+ they are smart, they know how to suck you in

holding them up for more money

High priced garbage merges with lackluster service.

The big killer for the deal here is that in the New York City and Los Angeles areas (the #1 and #2 media markets in the USA), the combined Comcast-Time Warner Cable would wield WAY too much monopoly power over cable TV systems. No wonder why the DoJ is opposed to the deal.

All propaganda. The industry has already started organizing and planning the cutovers. Documents have been signed and people are working on the actual date of cutover for each KMA.

This is a done deal. All palms have been greased.

The question now is just who is trying to gain what by saying the deal is in jeopardy.

Satan and Saddam Hussein can’t merge? My heart bleeds for Comcrap and Time Warner as much as their hearts bleed for their customers.

We are ready for mergers to be rejected. We need more competition, not less.

I have Verizon fiber optic as well as Time Warner cables in my street, so I can have either one. There is competition.

I hear this is rare, and that in most places the local governments have granted only a monopoly to one provider.

Anyway Verizon just announced a “skinny” cable TV package, of fewer channels and cheaper. This is direct response to “cutting the cable” in favor of streaming options.

My point, is competition is working.

Allow too many mergers, and the competition incentive wanes.
