Comcast Follows Charter in Massachusetts Effective Competition Ask

With the FCC deciding Charter Communications has effective competition in Massachusetts based on the presence of AT&T TV Now (see 1910250036), Comcast wants the same. Its docket 12-1 effective competition determination petition Tuesday would end rate regulation in 84 franchise areas in Massachusetts. "There are no factual differences between the Charter precedent and this case that could justify a different legal result," Comcast said. The Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Cable didn't comment.
