Comcast- NBCU?

Learning about the current Comcast- NBCU merger was my favorite topic of the week. Combing the largest cable operator (the former) and one of the largest production companies (the latter) creates a pretty big power house. There are many concerns that “the merger will limit communications choices and drive up costs to consumers” (Hamill). But the conditions and regulations set should keep the new Comcast in check. Due to the merge Comcast committed to expand local news, broaden Spanish-speaking programs and offer Internet access to schools and libraries (Hamill). I believe the merger was a good decision so far and should continue to be as long as we keep and eye on their power.

I’m exited to we what we have in store for after spring break!
