Cable company already too controlling and costly
Prepare yourself for higher cable rates if Comcast Corp. buys part of NBC Universal [“Protect consumer choice: block NBC/Comcast deal,” Opinion, Ryan Blethen editorial column, Nov. 22].
Where I live, Normandy Park, the city gave Comcast a 75-year franchise. If they inhale NBC, Comcast will renegotiate those city franchises for a century or more.
That’s way too long for an industry that is changing every day.
The Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission should stop cold Comcast from becoming any bigger or more controlling.
