Well, when(*) TWC gets bought(**) by Comcast (or Charter,
or some combination of the two), things might get different(***).

Interesting times.

(*) Ok, that is still an "if", but they are looking at it
(**) Ok, it will likely be a "merger" in order to minimize
taxes.
(***) Ok, FCC/DoJ might have anti-trust issues, and
file to prevent the mergers, but there is actually little
overlap in the markets (Comcast and TWC do not tend
to compete in the same markets), and the FCC may
instead look at this as an opportunity to place
additional constraints on Comcast (adding to the various
limits they placed on Comcast when they purchased
NBC/Universal).
