Dear Congressman Collins:
April19,
2016
Thank you for your letter regarding Charter Communications' proposed merger with
Time Warner Cable and acquisition
of
Advance/Newhouse Partnership, the parent
of
Bright
House Networks. I appreciate hearing your views.
Consistent with our rules, the Commission will evaluate whether these proposed
transactions are in the public interest.
Our
analysis
on
any transaction is always robust and takes
several factors into account, including the issues you raise in your letter.
Not
only do
we
assess
whether
we
can appropriately remedy any harms that may arise from the transaction,
we
also
place great emphasis
on
the benefits that the transaction will confer
on
American consumers.
While I
am
unable to discuss the merits
of
this particular proceeding, I can assure you that the
Commission is conducting an open and transparent process as required
by
FCC rules and
regulations. After developing a full and complete record, we hope to conclude our review as
quickly as possible.
Again, thank you for your interest in this matter. Your letter will be made part
of
the
official record
of
the proceeding.
