DOJ on Shaky Ground to Revisit Comcast/NBCU, FSF Says

Legal challenges to Comcast's buy of NBCUniversal are weaker than in 2011, Free State Foundation academic adviser Ted Bolema wrote Thursday. Comcast has less leverage over rivals now as consumer choices expand and cord cutting accelerates. DOJ options are limited by agency skepticism of behavioral conditions, and action could lend credence to claims it's acting under pressure from President Donald Trump, Bolema said. The department didn't comment.
