  • Opposition to Proposed Merger of Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable October 2, 2014
    Opposition to Proposed Merger of Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable October 2, 2014 I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Consumers Union, the public policy and advocacy division of Consumer Reports,1 respectfully requests that the U.S. Department of Justice bring action to enjoin the proposed merger of Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable (“TWC”).2 We believe this merger violates section 7 of the Clayton Act, as it would substantially lessen competition, impede innovation by online video distributors, threaten innovation in equipment and platforms, and reduce the quality and diversity of information sources and services to the public, all to the detriment of consumers. Moreover, it would encourage a cascade of new mergers, opening the floodgates to even further concentration; new deals are already being proposed or reportedly under consideration in the wake of the Comcast/TWC announcement. To justify the merger, Comcast and TWC claim unconvincingly that they already face abundant and growing competition, and that they will continue to. Consumers rightly do not see it that way. Widespread consumer complaints of high prices, poor service, and no choices are unmistakable hallmarks of an absence of meaningful competition. Comcast and TWC already 1 Consumers Union is the public policy and advocacy division of Consumer Reports. Consumers Union works for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers and to empower consumers to protect themselves, focusing on the areas of telecommunications, health care, food and product safety, energy, and financial services, among others. Consumer Reports is the world’s largest independent product-testing organization. Using its more than 50 labs, auto test center, and survey research center, the nonprofit organization rates thousands of products and services annually.
