Wall Street firm Morgan Stanley expects once Frontier-Verizon merger is complete, FiOS fiber to the home will reach upwards of 40 million Frontier customers, beyond what Frontier could show as profitable. Should help many rural and red-lined urban areas finally see fiber access.

After a decade of data caps, Comcast has finally listened to its customers and is ending its arbitrary limits and overcharging for "too much usage." The fact is, new unlimited competitors made data caps untenable as customers took their business elsewhere. (1 of 2)

With Cox set to adopt Spectrum's unlimited data plans post-merger, most of cable broadband is now cap-free. Since starting our fight against data caps in 2008, there has never been a time when those caps were justified. Let us hope they are now resigned to history.

Richard Nixon tried. Ronald Reagan tried. Donald Trump tried during his first term in office. All three Republican presidents wanted to strip taxpayer support for PBS and NPR stations. But all three men were stymied by Congress. This time, however, might be different...

Cox customers will appreciate the fact that after Spectrum rolls out its service plans post-merger (pending approval), DATA CAPS WILL BE GONE. Data caps are as relevant today as buggy whips. They exist only to greedily charge customers more money and are unnecessary.

Listening to the press conference suggests Spectrum’s existing packages and pricing will be retained and will be introduced to Cox customers. I’m waiting to hear a direct statement that there are no data caps.

Cox customers will not see a high-split upgrade so they will need to wait until DOCSIS 4 for upload speed upgrades on the HFC network.

Regulatory review required. Trump Admin and FCC is a real wild card. Who knows. State regulators except in NY and CA will rubber stamp this. NY gets an opportunity to demand more low price internet and rural internet expansion from Spectrum, plus protecting NY jobs.

The new company will be called Cox. Cox loves data caps and it isn't known if those caps will now be slapped on Spectrum customers.

The Supreme Court just gave any federal judge the power to second guess and invalidate regulations issued by federal agencies, gutting enforcement powers at the FCC, EPA, FDC, FAA, OSHA, etc.

T-Mobile announces $4.4 billion dollar deal to acquire much of US Cellular, one of the few remaining large regional wireless companies, with more than four million customers. The deal announcement comes weeks after clear evidence T-Mobile’s merger with Sprint is costing U.S. consumers more as wireless companies raise prices. But be prepared to be baffled by lobbyist propaganda that this merger will benefit consumers. It won’t.
