Genachowski Backs Comcast NBCU

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is recommending that Comcast’s proposed deal to acquire 51 percent of NBC Universal be approved, with conditions.

Now that Genachowski pushed through the commission’s first Internet regulations, he’s wasting no time circulating the order Thursday on the joint venture to the other commissioners, who may make changes or suggestions. Three votes are required on the final order, which could come on or before the commission’s monthly meeting Jan. 25, 2011.
