Comcast Cable and Time Warner Cable merging would significantly reduce consumer choice for telecommunication and technology services and limit market competition. Comcast's current, and potential, market share would overwhelm competitors and allow Comcast to determine market prices for services (IE: Internet access, basic cable, telephone services) - a violation of previous "per se" interpretations of Anti-trust laws by the Supreme Court.
Such a large market share would also put Comcast-Time Warner in a position to violate "tying arrangements" tests determined by the Court where Comcast's market presence, following the merger, would allow Comcast to cause harm to competitors and the availability of internet, cable, and telephone services - especially when tied to municipal infrastructure.
