How many of the polled were actually not customers of either? How many of them were dish or directv customers in the footprint of Comcast or TW?

Also, I personally think it may be a good thing. People scream about how it will drive prices up, I think the opposite might actually happen. Or maybe a status quo. Reason I say this is with that much of a bargaining power, they could get the media content providers to reel in THEIR price gouging when it came time for carrier fee negotiations. AMC for example has been seeking double digit increases every time they renegotiate a contract with a cable/sat company.

If Comcast were to pull AMC off the network due to negotiation break down, and was merged with TWC, yeah.... AMC would see a HUGE hit in revenue from it. Far more than what happens now.
