Comcast Settles Lawsuit Over Predatory Monopolistic Over-Billing Wednesday Oct 29 2014 12:39 EDT Tipped by newview  Comcast today settled a decade-old lawsuit accusing the company of violating sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act by gobbling up competitors, then using the firm's market power to aggressively raise rates on users in Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. The preliminary settlement involves Comcast paying $16.67 million in cash and another $33 million in service discounts to current and former subscribers in Philadelphia and four nearby counties. The settlement comes as Comcast works to soothe regulator worries that the company's planned $45 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable will result in even more consolidated power.
