Sens Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) wrote to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski last week urging him to ensure the Comcast-NBC Universal merger doesn't harm consumers or lead to inflation in cable prices. Meanwhile, Comcast has been active on the Hill, rounding up the signatures of 98 members from both parties for a letter urging the FCC to complete the review without further delay. Sens Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Bob Casey (D-PA) also wrote the FCC in support of the deal.
