If Comcast is allowed to absorb Time Warner, it will have the largest cable/internet provider market share in the country at about 30%. The worry is that Comcast will use that control to favor its own internet services over competitors. It can also potentially use its market share to muscle pricier deals for services like Netflix. Many see the internet as the future of content delivery, and Comcast, through its acquisition of NBC Universal, owns a lot of that content. Theres an obvious incentive for Comcast to stifle competing over-the-web services.
