Tech group calls on feds to block Comcast merger

(The Hill): http://thehill.com/policy/technology/208693-tech-group-calls-on-feds-to-block-comcast-egulators should block this merger, not only for the good of innovation, the Internet industry and of consumers; but also for the sanctity of antitrust law  Ed Black, president of the CCIA, said in a letter Monday. 

   "The CCIA represents companies in the tech and telecom sectors,
    including Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft, TiVo, Aereo, T-Mobile
    and Sprint."

The fun part is that Comcast and Time Warner Cable were recently found in a
poll to be the most hated companies in the USA. Yeah, merging them will
be a real treat for consumers, like bamboo shoots under the fingernails and
their joints pulled apart on the rack.
