According to a report by Bloomberg, lawyers in the antitrust division are nearing a recommendation to block the deal because of concerns consumers could be harmed. The review could be submitted as soon next week. Shares of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX) Cable fell more than 5 percent. And Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) (NYSE:CCS), the parent company of CNBC which produces this broadcast, dropped 2 percent. Full transcript is at http://nbr.com/2015/04/17/transcript-nightly-business-report-april-17-2015/ Interesting because NBR is owned and operated by CNBC. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 4/9/2015 5:07 PM, Tim Reichhart wrote: <blockquote> Today I had an construction rep from twc come out to my location to see where fiber was going to be laid out at and he was telling me that TWC/Comcast merger will happen later today and he was telling me also that TWC mid ohio/woh/neo will be going to charter. He also said about Indiana was that Comcast will put Indiana under spin co for first 3 months then after that charter will be taking over since charter is buying out bright house which uses twc network. He also said this merger will happen later this year and also he seemed happy that charter will be taking over TWC instead of Comcast. � Tim </blockquote>
