Help stop TW/Comcast Merger (from Consumer's Union/Consumer Reports)

If you’ve ever paid an outrageous cable TV or Internet bill, or had horrible customer service (four-hour service call window, anyone?), then you should join me in speaking out against the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger.

Those deciding the merger – the five appointed members of the FCC – are taking public comment right now. It’s important we all speak out against this merger, because if it goes through, Comcast will control almost 60% of the nation’s cable TV subscribers, and nearly 40% of the high-speed Internet market.

Where is our freedom of choice, and free-market competition, if that happens?

You can join me in adding your comments against the merger by going to Consumers Union’s campaign website. They will get your opinion to the FCC, which has to consider what the public wants before deciding this merger.

Thank you!
