I don't see it happening as hard as they had with getting NBC Universal this will take longer and will be a lot harder to get through but money talks!!!
What parallels does this have with NBC Universal? They aren't buying content, what channels and content does Time Warner Cable produce and sell to other providers that makes this similar?
A large company swallowing another large company whole. The fear is that Comcast will be even less interested in fulfilling their conditional obligations in this one as they were in the last.What parallels does this have with NBC Universal?
You'll let us know when they open up CSN Philly and CSN Houston, won't you?Big company, big liabilities. They don't get to pick and choose obligations or risk constant regulation and scrutiny.

The terms were:They did but no one said they couldn't charge too much for the channels.
Another issue that has come up recently is the bandwidth throttling that Comcast is apparently utilizing with Netflix customers. It is covered by this clause:NBC Comcast conditions said:Ensuring Reasonable Access to Comcast-NBCU Programming for Multichannel Distribution. Building on successful requirements adopted in prior, similar transactions, the Commission is establishing for rival multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) an improved commercial arbitration process for resolving disputes about prices, terms, and conditions for licensing Comcast-NBCU’s video programming. The Commission is also requiring Comcast-NBCU to make available through this process its cable channels in addition to broadcast and regional sports network programming.
I suspect that the problem is that the FCC's arbitration process isn't really all that.NBC Comcast conditions said:Offers standalone broadband Internet access services at reasonable prices and of sufficient bandwidth so that customers can access online video services without the need to purchase a cable television subscription from Comcast.
