Re: My Prediction

said by Matt:

I'm not sure if the FCC would allow the country to essentially have one choice of a "cable" provider, but of course, with FiOS TV and U-Verse as choices for some, plus the satellite providers, they just may.
I don't think the FCC will have the say in that anymore. But the Justice Dept will and I don't see them letting Comcast get TWC. But I do see them letting Comcast get control of other smaller cable operators.

TWC can spin off smaller areas and give them to Comcast. After all Windjammer appeared pretty much over night for those areas, they still even use the RoadRunner and Digital Phone brands. It would be easy for Comcast to pick those up.

You are correct, I meant the Justice Department.

I see Comcast buying the remaining parts of Insight that they didn't take after the partnership was split. They already would have same headend/setop box equipment, and the markets are within a few hrs of existing Comcast areas, and easy to be added to the Comcast network/backbone.
