Comcast bids $65B for 21st Century Fox assets
- _bxg1 8y agoRaise your hand if you're shocked that this and the AT&T/Time Warner deal both came out within 48 hours of the net neutrality repeal.
- tssva 8y agoThe ATT/Time Warner deal came out 2 years ago. Yesterday was a judge denying the government's attempt to block it. The timing of the Comcast offer for Fox is tied to this decision and not the end of net neutrality. Comcast had stated publicly that they were awaiting the courts decision on the ATT/Time Warner deal before making a counter offer for Fox. No point to making an offer if the government were likely to successfully block any deal.
