Future of Music Coalition 7000 West Third Street 1615 L Street NW, Ste. 520 Los Angeles, CA 90048 Washington, DC 20036 December 29, 2014 REDACTED – FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION SUMMARY The proposed merger between Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and Time Warner Cable (“TWC” or “Time Warner Cable,” together, “Applicants”) and the subsequent divestiture transactions between Applicants, Charter Corporation (“Charter”), and GreatLand Connections will harm competition, programming diversity, and consumer choice. There is broad consensus among industry participants that these transactions do not serve the public interest. Comcast’s proposed expansion of traditional and digital media distribution magnifies many of the harms identified by commenters and by the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”) in the Comcast-NBC Universal (“NBCU”) merger and also raises new concerns. In Comcast-NBCU , the FCC found that the merger would have increased Comcast’s ability and incentive to discriminate against unaffiliated programming 1 and to hinder competition from online video distributors (“OVDs”) through “its exercise of control over consumers’ broadband connections.”2 Now, with the acquisition of TWC, Comcast can expand such harmful practices across a larger share of both the multichannel video programming distribution (“MVPD”) and Internet service provider (“ISP”) markets.

The proposed acquisition also would threaten innovation and economic activity on the Internet, and it would jeopardize the free flow of information and ideas on which our democracy depends. Because the proposed acquisition does not advance the public interest- but, rather, is inimical to it- it must be rejected. I. Comcast, the nation's biggest cable company and biggest broadband Internet service provider (ISP), seeks the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) blessing to acquire TWC, the nation's second biggest cable company and third biggest ISP.1 Make no mistake about it: the proposed acquisition is a great deal for the cable companies, their corporate executives, and their Wall Street investors. Within hours of the proposed acquisition being announced, Comcast's executives were boasting to Wall Street analysts that Comcast stood to make billions of dollars from the deal.2 In the ensuing weeks, Comcast's and TWC's executives repeatedly assured Wall Street that they had gone "line-by-line" through the books, had done "meaningful diligence," and were "very comfortable" and "quite confident" that the deal would be a boon for 1 See Comcast's Applications and Public Interest Statement: Description of Transaction, Public Interest Showing, and Related Demonstrations (April 8, 2014) (hereinafter Comcast 's Public Interest Statement); Leichtman Research Group, MVPD Data (Mar.

Friedman Daniel Ferrel Mclnnis THOMPSON HINE LLP 1919 M Street, NW, Suite 700 Washington, DC 20015 (202) 331-8800 Counsel to Entravison August 25, 2014 SUMMARY The merger of Comcast Corporation and Time Warner Cable, the two largest cable providers in the United State, will disproportionately impact and harm the Latino community­ including independent Latino-focused programmers and advertisers and, ultimately, Latino viewers. As detailed in a supporting economic analysis by anti.trust expert, Professor John Kwoka, the merger will cause the predicable effects of being anti-competitive and harmful to interests of Latino-market program providers and Latino viewers. First, the merger will increase Comcast's incentive and ability to discriminate against and exclude independent Latino-focused programming that provides a competitive check to its own Latino-oriented programming. Second, the merger will expand and cement Comcast's power as a buyer of Latino-focused programming and ultimately diminish the quantity, quality, and competitiveness of that market. Professor K woka explains, in his analysis, that these two economic consequences will be detrimental to the distinct group of consumers that compromise the Latino-market segment, as well as independent program providers serving those consumers and the associated market for Latino-oriented television advertising. Entravision asks that the Commission recognize the potential harm to the public interest and impose structural remedies consisting of a requirement that Comcast divest its Latino­ focused programming networks and/or cable systems within areas of heavy Latino viewership.
