Saw this statement on NBR on Friday, 4/17:
Attorneys at the Department of Justice may be close to opposing
Comcast`s $45 billion proposed acquisition of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX)
Cable.
According to a report by Bloomberg, lawyers in the antitrust
division are nearing a recommendation to block the deal because of
concerns consumers could be harmed. The review could be submitted as
soon next week.
Shares of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX) Cable fell more than 5 percent.
And Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) (NYSE:CCS), the parent company of CNBC
which produces this broadcast, dropped 2 percent.

said about Indiana was that Comcast will put Indiana under spin co

charter is buying out bright house which uses twc network. He also

happy that charter will be taking over TWC instead of Comcast.
