Scary amount of debt involved in this. Charter are loading up the combined entity with debt so that they can ensure they are the dominant partner in the deal.

TWC are over half-again the size of Charter, have three times the revenues and are far more profitable.

Vodafone won't be so keen on being saddled with a bunch of debt in a merged entity. Of course their lovely short-termist shareholders may well disagree if they see $$$ signs waved in front of them.
