AT&T Time Warner Merger Would Harm Consumers: Statement of Michael Copps, former FCC Commissioner and Common Cause Special Adviser
“Allowing a communications behemoth like AT&T to swallow the Time Warner media empire should be unthinkable. The sorry history of mega mergers shows they run roughshod over the public interest. Further entrenching monopoly harms innovation and drives up prices for consumers. The answer is clear: regulators must say no” said former FCC Commissioner and Common Cause Special Adviser Michael Copps.
