Time Warner Cable’s shares are down 5.4% and Comcast is off 2.7% after Bloomberg reported that Justice Department officials are “nearing a recommendation to block” the $45 billion combination of the two largest cable companies. What’s more, the officials are not negotiating with Comcast to come up with terms to ease the lawyers’ fears that the deal would hurt consumers, the news service says citing unnamed sources.


:lol:


personally i'm glad to see these kind of mergers getting blocked

i read recently netflix is now worth more than CBS. My guess is neither of the companies listed will be worth much in 20 years unless they expand into cellphones or provide quality fast internet. As someone who has had dealings with both companies i can say personally i cant wait for the traditional cable company to be phased out altogether. Waiting at your house for 7 hour time slot on a Saturday so that a smelly guy can show up and drill into your walls...
