Sign the petition to the FCC: No more cable mergers stop Charter's takeover of Time Warner Cable

the Federal Communications Commission

After grassroots activists like you thwarted Comcast's attempt to merge with Time Warner Cable, FCC Chairman Wheeler told major cable industry executives: "More competition would be better."

But now Charter wants to pick up the pieces they want to take over Time Warner Cable. And if the deal is approved, Charter will absorb billions in new debt, for which they expect you to pay for. In fact, the only reason Charter is willing to pay so much is because it knows it can raise prices as much as it likes since there's almost no competition in America's broadband market. .

Internet service providers should be getting better, NOT bigger. Stand with competition and tell the FCC to oppose this deal!

Earlier this year, FCC Chairman Wheeler took to the stage at a major cable industry event and told executives: "More competition would be better." I agree.

The FCC has a chance to demonstrate that it truly does prioritize competition: I urge you to reject the Charter-Time Warner Cable merger. Consumers already struggle to pay our cable and Internet bills — and many of us can't even afford to get connected in the first place. We need faster, more affordable Internet access — not another merger.
