STATEMENT OF
CHAIRMAN JULIUS GENACHOWSKI
Re:  Applications of Comcast Corporation, General Electric Company and NBC Universal, 
Inc. For Consent to Assign Licenses and Transfer Control of Licensees, MB Docket No. 10-56, 
FCC 11-4
After a thorough review, we have adopted strong and fair merger conditions to ensure 
this transaction serves the public interest.
The conditions include carefully considered steps to ensure that competition drives 
innovation in the emerging online video marketplace.
Our approval is also structured to spur broadband adoption among underserved 
communities; to increase broadband access to schools and libraries; and to increase news 
coverage, children's television, and Spanish-language programming.
I commend the excellent work of the FCC staff; this was an endeavor that involved 
almost every Bureau and Office. I also want to thank Assistant Attorney General Varney and her 
staff for their close collaboration throughout this review.
