The FCC stopped the 180-day shot clock on the review of Comcast buying Time Warner Cable, the commission said Friday in a letter to the companies involved in the deal and a related divestiture. Responses to information requests sent to Comcast, TWC and Charter Communications weren’t complete, the FCC said, and the commission needs time to analyze voluminous economic submissions by the companies. The commission also has pushed back the deadline for response comments on petitions to deny Comcast/TWC to Oct. 29, the letter said. Because of all these factors, the FCC is stopping the shot clock until Oct. 29, or until Commission staff has determined that the information responses are complete, “whichever is later,” the letter said.
