CenturyLink's Post: We're not threatened by the Charter/Time Warner Cable merger

CenturyLink is aware that when Charter Communications completes its acquisition of Time Warner Cable the merger will give CenturyLink a larger threat in its residential and business service capabilities, but the telecommunication company says it has the right weapons to compete. Glen Post, CEO of CenturyLink, said that while the new Charter will be a larger threat, it will give the company a way to gain market share as these companies work through the integration process. "We do see this as an opportunity for us because there will be a lot of missteps and confusion with the merger and we'll take advantage of that," Post said. "We'll continue to roll out higher speed, more fiber. And where we have done that we have seen very high take rates of this product, so we don't feel threatened by this merger."
