Comcast is wasting no time pressing forward with its $42.5 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable. We’ve assembled three separate documents the company released this morning: a press release announcing the deal, a public interest benefits summary and a document called “Day One Undertakings” from Comcast EVP David Cohen, who is the company’s chief lobbyist in Washington, DC.

In that note Cohen cites the 2011 acquisition of NBCU: “Comcast intends to build on our extraordinarily successful acquisition of NBCUniversal, and our unparalleled record of keeping our promises to bring new benefits to consumers in prior acquisitions,” Cohen writes.
