FCC Staff Recommends Hearing on Comcast-Time Warner Cable Merger

Federal Communications Commission staff recommended that the
regulatory agency designate Comcast Corp.'s proposed acquisition of
Time Warner Cable Inc. for a hearing, according to people familiar
with the matter, a significant setback for the companies' merger
plans. The staff reached a conclusion that the best option for the
FCC is to issue a "hearing designation order." In effect, that would
put the merger in the hands of an administrative law judge, and would
be seen as a strong sign the FCC doesn't believe the deal is in the
public interest.
