Speaking Out Against the Proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable Merger
Brad Hoylman
December 11, 2014
On December 11, I submitted testimony to the New York City Council regarding the proposed merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable. I believe that this merger, by combining the nation’s two largest cable operators, would create a highly monopolized environment for cable and internet services, and would therefore be antithetical to the public interest. Such domination of this marketplace would likely increase prices, reduce the quality of service, and limit consumer choice. However, should the merger be approved, it must be conditioned on expanded broadband access for low-income New Yorkers.
