Wait wait wait...so, a company that has something like 60-70% of the market in total monopoly now has successfully ransomed another company who depends on their services?

- briandh 13y agoWhere are you getting those numbers? It would seem [1] that Comcast has about 24% broadband market share. Subtracting the 3 million or so planned divested lines, even a post-merger Comcast would only have about 34% of the market -- which may be too high for comfort, but is nowhere near 60-70% [1] http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/usbroadbandsubscribersq12013.jpg http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/usbroadbandsubscr...
