FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
WASHINGTON
OFFICE OF
THE CHAIRMAN March 26,2015
The Honorable Mike Doyle
U.S. House of Representatives
239 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Congressman Doyle:
Thank you for your letter regarding the proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable by
Comcast Corporation. I appreciate hearing your views.
I understand your concern with regard to our informal, 180-day transaction clock. As
you note, the clock has been stopped at least twice during our review. Most recently, we stopped
the clock as we await definitive guidance from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia on whether parties will have access to confidential material for potential use in
submitting comments on the record.
We continue to receive frequent submissions from the applicants and other interested
parties. I can assure you that the Commission is conducting an open and transparent process as
required by FCC rules and regulations, and we hope to conclude our review as quickly as
possible.
Again, thank you for your interest in the matter. Your letter will be made part of the
official record of the proceeding.
