Buyer and Bottleneck Market Power Make the Comcast-Time Warner Merger "Unapprovable"
This paper presents an initial empirical analysis of the impact of the Comcast-Time Warner merger as viewed through the general standards and preliminary screens that are used to evaluate the impact of mergers. It is based on publicly available data. A series of Appendices provides the legal and analytical underpinnings for the empirical analysis as we have presented it in regulatory proceedings over the course of the last decade.
