Bright House Relies on TWC for External Connections, BHN Clarifies

Bright House Networks has “historically” relied on Time Warner Cable “to supply external connections that are critical to BHN's successful provision of lnternet service,” BHN CEO Steven Miron told members of the FCC's Comcast/TWC transaction review team in a Dec. 16 presentation, said an ex parte filing posted in docket 14-57 Monday. It clarified a previous ex parte filing that described BHN as having “access” to TWC's "national Internet backbone," Monday's filing said. “All external transit and peering arrangements for BHN are currently handled by TWC.” TWC also negotiates those on BHN's behalf, the filing said.
