Comcast’s merger with Time Warner Cable is all but dead at this point

Comcast’s $42.5 billion plan to acquire Time Warner Cable is all but dead at this point, but that doesn’t mean America’s Internet is problem-free. The merger of the nation’s two largest cable companies would have undoubtedly made things worse, but even without that merger, the United States has a depressingly uncompetitive Internet market, with a handful of massive corporations controlling the vast majority of the market and actively working to ensure that they’re the only viable options out there.
