.....well, the story continues.

The Comcast-Time Warner (TWC) massive cableco merger is off in the US. American regulators were luke warm on the idea at best and the companies have now called it off. Thus, in steps John Malone to fill the gap...

Malone's Charter cableco put in a bid yesterday for TWC just hours after the TWC-Comcast merger collapsed. Media speculation is that this time it will be successful.

Malone will then own a giant US cableco and a giant European cableco. It's a matter of when, not if, Liberty Global merges with the TWC/Charter cableco.
