The proposed $45-billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable by Comcast Corp is stuck in limbo. The US Federal Communications Commission has asked Comcast to make a case for the merger in front of an administrative law judge. The proposed single company would control up to two-thirds of US internet connections and provide cable TV to more than a quarter of the US market. While many believe the deal is not in public interest, Comcast says it would not harm competition and would, instead, bring faster internet speeds and other benefits. So, what will it be — killer deal or deal killer?
