Any curbs on Comcast alliance are tough to enforce

No matter what conditꦚions regulators place on Comcast in order to approve its merger with Time Warner Cable, they will be toothless, television indus🎃try insiders told The Post.

That’s because the Federal Communications Commission is unable to enforce some of the conditions it sets down, the cꦓritics claim.

Just look at th💎e conditions Comcast was supposed to adhere to — but didn’t — to gain appro📖val of its purchase of NBCUniversal, the critics maintain.

For example, Comcast faile▨d to live up to♍ its promise to market its low-cost broadband service, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), an outspoken critic of the NBCU deal, told the FCC earlier this year.

Comcast paid a fine for not marketing A s🌌tandalone $50 broadband service widely enough.

The giant cable provider also failed net neutrality provisions in the merger agreement that provided for equal internet access for all by excluding content watched via its Xfinity platform from data caps — thus favoring its own content, the intereꦉst group Public Knowledge claims.

Comcast says it has lived up to net neutrality provisions and claims the FCC hasn’t taken any issue with that.

“Is the [FCC] concerned about these things to impose these safeguards and conditions to stop these things from happening? That’s what it boils down to,” a source told The Post. “They avoided them through clever lawye✤ring.”

In addition, the Tennis Channel is yet to gain broad distribution from Comcast despite several ruling🍷s in its favor by the FCC.

Simila🐬rly, Bloomberg thought an FCC ruling that it should be located near other business channels would get it the better spot, but Comcast took years to move it on some systems, though the issue is now resolved.
