Cable Acquisitions by Charter Communications Face Rising Opposition
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/22/business/big-merger-in-cable-faces-rising-opposition.html
Comcast's failed $45 billion merger with Time Warner Cable
collapsed last year under pressure from regulators, who found
that the combined company would have had both the power and
incentive to inhibit the future of streaming video. Now, as
rival Charter Communications seeks approval for its $67.1
billion takeover of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks,
critics point to the same potential for harm.
