The Comcast-Time Warner merger has been put on hold for the time being in order for the FCC and other vested government agencies to do a closer examination of the acquisition. The re-examination of the terms of the agreements and possible down the road consequences are giving the opposition reason to smile, but just a bit.
Consumers rarely like cable or phone company mergers, mostly because they worry their bills will go up and the customer service will go down. The FCC has already gotten 81,000 comments, mostly from consumers.
