THE RECORD STARTS ON CHARTER-TIME WARNER: The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday officially opened up the docket on the proposed merger of Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable. The docket, with the number 15-149, will offer a space for all parties to disclose their meetings and advocacy to the commission about the merger. The deal came about after regulators raised objection earlier this year to Comcast's attempt to acquire Time Warner Cable.

The feature has been available in Gmail's Labs tab for years.
