I don't know anything about it. Would not be surprising, Charter has got all kinds of money since bankruptcy. They basically wrote off 8 billion in debt in 2009, stock price was under $1 for some time. Now it's well over $300 per share & Tom Rutledge the ceo made 98.5 million in 2016. To be honest I don't know how he survives on that.

It sure seems like they want to own the cable world & they very well might in time.

Rutledge and Malone would like to buy Cox, but as of now Cox is not for sale. It was just a hypothetical article making the rounds this morning to get clicks. Hopefully nothing ever comes of it, as I like Cox as it is, privately owned and not part of some giant mega corporation looking to cut every corner. Keep Charter/Spectrum out of both of my homes with Cox. I like my service the way it is.

That'll put the fox in charge of the hen house.
