Why is the deal interesting?


Considering the not-so-clean image and the history of political lobbying, all
the deals by Comcast have raised eyebrows
What's interesting is the customer service stinks but people still use them
Wide set of stakeholders, from Silicon Valley companies to political parties
Strong arguments on both sides of the net as detailed below

Major stakeholders
Comcast
TWC

Customers
Cable Channels

Internet providers
State judiciaries

Pros
The two companies footprints are in
completely separate geographies
Both companies are limping along,
victims of big changes in the television
industry
Cloud-based on-demand services to
take over a large portion of the industry

Online Video Content providers


Department of Justice
Apple, Roku
Federal Communication Commission

Cons
No promise on economies of scale
Comcast would have an incentive to
favor its own content over its
competitors
The merger would combine two huge
companies that already score poorly
when it comes to customer satisfaction

Does that mean end of shows on


Netflix like House of cards
