My "agree not to...Thank you for your comment.<br /><br />My "agree not to compete" phrase refers to the fact that neither company overbuilds into the other company's service territory. Think of it as a mutual non-aggression pact.<br /><br />Nothing prevents Comcast and TWC from offering facilities-based competition in the same franchise area. Local cable television franchises cannot be exclusive to one company. Yet the fact speaks for themselves: little facilities-based competition, and few buy a natural monopoly rationale.Rob Friedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906014390240946093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518538516094111151.post-81159603609295892272014-03-21T13:37:28.477-04:002014-03-21T13:37:28.477-04:00TWC and Comcast have "agreed not to compete&q...TWC and Comcast have "agreed not to compete"? I'm sure you've seen a map of their respective footprints, so I'm not sure why you'd say this. <br /><br />There's very little overlap. If, by "agreed not to compete" you mean that TWC doesn't attempt to provide service to, say, SF Bay Area households using its Los Angeles network, then yes, they've agreed not to compete. Otherwise this statement is just false. <br /><br />Why erode your credibility with claims that are manifestly false, when there are other, legitimate arguments to be raised re the CC-TWC deal?
