said by fAcEtIOUs:Comcast has at least a 50% chance of beating the FCC in court. But they do need FCC & DOJ approvals to takeover NBC. So I bet they will leverage the court threats to get some kind of deal.
End result: DOJ pressures NFL/DirecTV to open up NFL Sunday Ticket to cable under anti-trust threats to NFL and cable agrees to open up local team access to DirecTV. After all congresscritters and the DOJ pressured cable to let the NFL Network get on std tiers instead of extra cost sports tiers. So, they owe cable a deal.
And Cohen is the guy to make it happen since he has access to all the high end Dem politicians and has been a big Dem party power for a long time.
Where do they hope to get the bandwith for NFL ST from??
