FCC Should Consider Comcast Donations in Merger Review, Says Stop MegaComcast

The FCC should consider in its review process a New York Times article Sunday on groups that support the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger, the Stop Mega Comcast Coalition said in an ex parte filing Monday. "The article reports that many of the nonprofit organizations, elected officials, and academic institutions that have spoken out in favor of the merger have previously received monetary contributions from Comcast itself or its trade association,” the filing said. The FCC should consider the article “when evaluating public comments that may appear to favor the merger,” the filing said.
