Judge Approves Cable Companies' Spectrum Sale Plan | The Wrap Media:
"The Justice Department were concerned that the companies would unlawfully cede competition especially in areas where Verizon Communications’ FiOS and DSL services compete with the cable systems.
To address those concerns, cable companies agreed to put a number of conditions on what they could sell the quad bundles, essentially banning the sale in localities where they compete for Internet service business.
In approving the settlement, Judge Rosemary M. Collier of the District Court for the District of Columbia on Aug. 9 rejected concerns by RSN and CWA that the settlement didn’t go far enough because it didn’t ban national ads for quad packages."
