Progress and Freedom Foundation On Comcast/NBCU: The Sky Isn't Falling

Progress and Freedom Foundation President Adam Thierer says the "sky is falling" approach by some activist groups to the Comcast/NBCU merger is overstated. According to a copy of his testimony for a Feb. 4 House Communications & Internet Subcommittee hearing on the proposed merger, he takes aim at what he sees as a chorus of Peacock Littles, as it were, arguing that rather than consumers or competing content providers, the only people in any danger of getting hit by a piece of sky are the two companies themselves. He argues that consolidation may be a necessary response to the digital threat to traditional economic models.
