Roku has already done something like this with TWC. Of course, Roku competes on price and is still spending venture capital. Is that what Apple wants to compete with? The proposed deal really plays loose with concessions Comcast made in acquiring NBC/Universal. Even talk of this should have the FCC looking carefully at the proposed Comcast/TWC deal. I don't think this happens...ever.
I'd like to see the FCC break up Comcast as they did with AT&T. No company should be allowed to monopolize content and delivery in any single market. Comcast should be split into Comcast ISP and Comcast Entertainment. Let CI sell bandwidth to all comers while CE competes with the comers.
Of course such a breakup would find a lot of politicians looking for second jobs to make up for lost revenue.
