Comcast to buy Time Warner Cable: The dominant ISP monsters become even more monstrous

http://j.mp/1g9ojnw  (CNBC)

   "Comcast has reached an agreement to acquire Time Warner Cable in
    all-stock transaction worth roughly $159 a share, according to people
    close to the deal. The new company, created by the $44 billion
    purchase, would be by far the largest cable provider in the nation
    with over 33 million subscribers, and is certain to face a tough
    review from the Federal Communications Commission."
