Time Warner Cable CEO Worries Merger Approval to Be Delayed
In a leaked memo to employees by Time Warner Cable CEO Rob Marcus, Marcus worries that the FCC is so busy with other issues (DirecTV AT&T merger, looming Sprint T-Mobile merger, net neutrality, municipal broadband) that the company's merger with Comcast will very likely see delays. "At a minimum, these other deals in the telecom space may put a strain on the resources of the FCC, which is already busy with its proceedings on 'net neutrality' and the auction of additional wireless spectrum," notes Marcus. "In the meantime, recent speculation about mergers and acquisitions in the content world are adding more fuel to the public debate about whether consolidation is good or bad for consumers."

No mention of the TW CEO's golden parachute ?

I'm surprised that nothing was added about how poor, ole Rob will have to wait even longer for his multi-million $ windfall that he'll receive after this deal is done...
