If municipal broadband and other significant competition for broadband existed, this wouldn't be such a big deal, but the fact is in terms of TV you have like 2 major satellite TV providers and 1 cable company available in most areas. In terms of broadband internet you have 1 cable company and maybe 1 or 2 DSL providers available. Realistically, there is basically never more than 1 cable company per city anymore that I can see. Fiber internet and television is all but nonexistant as an option for the vast majority of people. Long story short, after this merger, Comcast will be an even bigger media conglomerate with almost no competition in their core business. Expect higher prices and worse service. That's comcastic.
