Hmm? how will that work since Cable companies since Comcast(Xfinity) division provides internet service to lure more people in. It Won't slow down fee growth but this can make people move to At&t, Dish and Directv for TV service.
According to the article
"If Comcast comes into the mix, as is being reportedly considered, the impact on fees would be smaller because of the agreements Comcast made with the U.S. government in order to acquire NBCUniversal. “The main concern of the consent decree governing Comcast’s rules of conduct post-NBCU was to prevent Comcast from wielding its market power to reduce competition,” Juenger said. If Comcast were to drop networks, those networks parent company would appeal to the FCC that Comcast was showing unfair preferential treatment to the NBCU channels."
That will prevent "Unfair advantage" from coming into play.
