How does Charter convince us that corrupt Time Warner Cable is serious for multitude like you and me ? Infuriatingly . One of the consumer benefits of the merger , harmonise to Charter , is that they ’ll actually obey the FCC ’s net disinterest rules if it passes . How gracious ! Were they planning to disobey if they do n’t get their way of life ?
Oh , and to lend insult to injury : Even if the merger goes through , Charter ’s only harmonize to not block or strangle your net dealings for three stinking years .
This week , Charterexplained all thisin the form ofa filingwith the FCC . Among vague reasons like “ Exceptional Community Initiatives ” and “ More Innovation , ” Charter put forward that the learning would be good for consumers because the society will institutionalise to the FCC ’s open internet rule . Here ’s the transit :

Recognizing the importance of an unresolved net to the flourish market for broadband service , New Charter will not block or strangulate Internet dealings or prosecute in paid prioritization , as defined in the Open Internet Orders . These commitments will continue for three years , without attentiveness to the outcome of the ongoing litigation take exception reclassification .
This is how Charter will help consumer ?
Now that the country ’s new open internet rules are marinate in litigation , thereis some lingering concern about the future of the internet . As companies like AT&Tchallenge the FCC ’s new subject net rule in courtroom , others are deciding whether to contend for their current line of work models or embrace the future of net disinterest . It seems like Charter is cheerleading the new rules a petty to come through favour with the FCC and , hopefully , get this vast merger push through . If it ’s successful , New Charter would be the second large cable television service fellowship in America , 2nd only to Comcast .

Of naturally , Charter does lean some more reasonable reasons . The company promises the merger would fetch humiliated prices and immobile speeds to customers , which finger like a descent we ’ve heard from every cable fellowship at some point . The fact of the matter remains that lessen rival with a massive merger is not the skillful thing for a marketplace that ’s already athirst for competition .
Whether these companies follow the rules or not , the only mode that the internet is going to get better for everybodyis if we let capitalism prevail its course . America needs more cable company . We have enough monopolies .
