In a deal that affects one in six American households, Charter Communications proposed a three-way merger with two other cable and broadband providers: Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks.
If approved by government regulators, the combined company will stand next to Comcast, AT&T and Verizon as a media giant that is shaping the future of television-watching and web-surfing.
You won’t see any difference in your cable bill right away, but Charter might offer you new ways to access cable TV and the web in the future.
