said by Paladin:Knowing that its real hard to do as bad as Charter, realize the company that buys the flamed out assets of Charter will likely restore their badly flagging systems. Even if they go Chapter 7, interruption of service is not likely.
Comcast can't buy them out because the FCC probably won't let them do it. Cox and Time Warner are two much better candidates.
As for fiberguy's arguments, the actual ads said that bankruptcy would be bad for customers. That's a very subjective and clever claim, it's not the same as saying "Charter is going to cease operations."
Well in my state it's either Charter or Comcast. In fact the next county over to the east is Comcast territory. TW was our cable operator here before Charter and they only last 18 months before selling to Charter so I find it hard to believe they'll suddenly buy us back. There no Cox service anywhere near us so it's doubtful they'll suddenly expand into our area. In fact I can't think of an area within 400 miles that is serviced by Cox. So the FCC won't have any choice but to let Comcast buy Charter out in our area.
