Charter just purchased TWC and turned it into Spectrum. Not sure how accurate that article is. I work at TWC and we just converted to Spectrum after the Charter and TWC merger.

Recently, there have been mergers left and right... net effect... consumer will get banged.
Don't believe me? Look at at airline ticket prices and current gas prices... And no one is doing anything about it... especially not the DOJ. |

Doesn't surprise me the gubberment is sitting idly by with stuff like this. They didn't do anything when Verizon struck a deal with the cable companies which was totally anti-consumer. Verizon wanted more cellular spectrum space. The cable companies had what they wanted. So in a deal, Verizon committed to stop expanding FIOS in areas where they are not already active in exchange to get that spectrum space. Yet, the DOJ and the FTC did nothing to block this blatant anti-consumer move.

Sometimes government policies encourage or necessitate corporate M&A, often unintentionally. Clearly, M&A and resulting reduction in competition among health insurance providers is a direct result of the ACA.

Quite the opposite, when American airlines merged with US Airways, the Justice Department made American give up it's gates at love Field. Giving them to southwest airlines. Not to other airlines that were interested in operating them there, just Southwest Airlines. So now southwest airlines has a near-monopoly at love Field. Horrible!

They blocked Aetna and Human's merger, and AT&T and T Mobile a few years back, so hopefully they will block this.
