OT: Charter to buyTime Warner
I don't know much about TV deals but will this have any impact on our or other conferences TV deal?

Not sure how it'll affect the AAC, but with Charter also buying Brighthouse not sure how or what difference it'll make.

The Comcast/ TimeWarner deal could have been a boon for the MW since Comcast and TW are pretty much in all areas of the MW and the TV deal in 2019 could have work a deal with NBC and NBCSN since the sports network on Comcast is part of the basic package whereas on others its on the higher tier packages.

The last thing we need is consolidation of cable companies. Those aholes already have too much power.

Used to care, but with Google Fiber coming to Charlotte, I won't have TWC/Charter anyway.

It is probably too much to hope that TWC customer service will improve. Google Fiber coming to Raleigh too. Can't wait to ditch TWC.

Comcast is rated the worst for service levels and it is earned

Comcast should be taught in business school of everything that's wrong in customer service
