we believe that this transaction is, and will be determined to be, pro-competitive, pro-consumer, and strongly in the public interest"Pro-competitive" and "pro-consumer" are two terms that that are among the very last adjectives that I would ever apply to Comcast. I've not known anybody to have have a good word about Comcast's attitude towards its residential customers. Everyone I know in my area has been more or less royally hacked off at Comcast's switch to digital; everyone knows that Comcast is just fucking with people because they can. In an era of low inflation rates and, in the last year, zero to even a slight touch of deflation, Comcast still keeps bumping their rates up.
There is nothing in the Comcast-NBC merger that will be good for consumers. You can take that to the bank.
I can think of few things less good for consumers. Or the American infrastructure.

About the only thing that would be worse would be to rip up the fiber-optic and microwave networks so that everyone has to go back to two-wire comms and VHF TV.
