Comcast Tells FCC It's Meeting Conditions of NBCU Merger

Bloomberg calls Comcast report 'revisionist'

Now that Comcast has operated NBCUniversal for a little over a year, has it been the good public interest citizen the Federal Communications Commission envisioned when it approved the $30 billion landmark deal with conditions?

In the first of seven annual reports required by the FCC's transaction order, Comcast all but gives itself an "A" in complying with a host of conditions the FCC required with the approval of the $30 billion deal.

"As the report shows, our commitments and the conditions, though extensive, have been incorporated into our business activities and become part of the company's 'DNA'," wrote David Cohen, Comcast's executive vp, in a blog post.

Among the conditions addressed in the 46-page report, the launch of a low-cost Internet service now in 41,000 homes was at the top of Cohen's list on his blog post.
