[Sid Schweiger]

Rich Wood informs us:  "As Comcast gets ready to swallow NBC/Universal, competitors to NBC's Hulu may have to take a bullet in the form of increased Comcast rates for streaming. Actually, the bullets will hit consumers.

Comcast's executives have already named their NBC management team, in blatant violation of the law that prevents merging companies from colluding prior to the necessary regulatory and legal approvals.  IOW, they're already acting as if they own the Peacock Network.  Anyone taking bets on how much of a slap-on-the-wrist they'll get, if any?
