Comcast Merger Review Put On Hold By FCC

(Forbes): http://www.forbes.com/sites/amadoudiallo/2014/10/04/comcast-merger-review-put-on-hold-by-fcc/

   "In a public letter to Comcast and Time Warner Cable executives,
    the FCC announced that it is hitting the pause button on its
    review of the proposed $45 billion merger.  Citing inadequate
    responses by both cable companies to earlier FCC requests for
    additional information, the agency is stopping the clock on its
    180 day review period until late October. This latest move may
    give even more momentum to opponents of what was initially seen as
    near-certain approval of the blockbuster merger between the
    nation's top two cable operators."
