Justice Department Investigating How Comcast-NBCU Merger Would Affect Internet Video Market

Aug 30, 2010  •  Post A Comment

The Justice Department is investigating how Comcast’s proposed purchase of NBC Universal would affect the Internet video market,reports the Wall Street Journal [Note: THe WSJ is behind a firewall and may charge you to read this artcle.]

The agency’s antitrust unit is looking at whether Comcast and other satellite and cable giants want to lock up distribution rights to TV programming on the Web, potentially hurting competition, the story says.

However, the investigation is unlikely to kill the deal, the story says. But the issue comes as the video market is rapidly changing, with Apple and other companies seeking to provide video over the Internet. The Justice Department is looking at whether Comcast having control over NBCU’s content would make it tougher for online video companies to compete, the story says.

  1. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  2. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  3. New York Giants jerseys is very beautiful.

  5. I mean, I could see all this fuss over the guy if he’d led Jersey to the Finals
