NHMC Statement on Comcast’s Proposed Acquisition of Time Warner Cable

The National Hispanic Media Coalition filed comments at the Federal Communications Commission in response to its Public Notice seeking input on Comcast’s proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable.

The comments urge the FCC to incorporate a number of critical questions on how the acquisition would affect Latinos into its public interest analysis.

NHMC is calling on the Commission to examine how the acquisition would impact: Latino programmers and Latino-themed content carriage and distribution; pay TV and Internet affordability; data caps, overage fees and usage-based pricing; Comcast’s Internet Essentials program; customer service; business relationships with other multichannel video programming distributors (MVPD); the Open Internet; regional sports networks; and jobs.
