I don't understand how this will get approval. I know they struck down the rule where you couldn't have more than 30% of the market (lobbying? what happened here?) but this will clearly be anti competitive by pretty much any definition. The only companies left in the space will be Cox and smaller regional players, right? I think AT&T U-Verse, Verizon FiOS, and Google Fiber are all fiber based, and DirecTV is satellite service.

The same way the previous Comcast deal got approved: a vague offer of a cushy job, some perks and benefits and bam we get another giant conglomerate going. Ask Meredith Baker.
