The proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner will not increase innovation, as claimed by Comcast. It will cause stagnation in the competition within the cable industry as Comcast will control roughly 2/3 of Americans' telecommunications.
This merged company will have a geographic monopoly. Monopolies, except in very regulated industries, have proven time and time again to be not only bad for the economy, but bad for consumers as well.
We urge the Obama Administration to at least address these concerns we have regarding not only what the merge would mean for consumer protections, but also what it would mean for the future of antitrust laws in America.
