If you were hop to see all of your favorite Marvel eccentric under one roof , we have some bad news . If you did n’t like the estimation of Disney owning the whole Marvel macrocosm , well , it can always get bad . Comcast is backing a dump truck of Johnny Cash up to 21st Century Fox ’s doorstep , trump Disney’sprevious offerto buy the company . And the amalgamation floodgate are formally open .
We only need , like , six more cycles of this stuff before there ’s only one company left . And there ’s alreadyspeculationthat Disney will evoke its bid and set up off a bidding war .
Along with twenty-first Century Fox ’s movie and television properties , the advance bidder will also become the majority proprietor of Hulu . Both Disney and Comcast ( through its ownership of NBCUniversal)hold30 percent of the cyclosis service—21st Century Fox owns another 30 per centum and Time - Warner owns the last 10 per centum . Yes , Hulu is a clusterfuck of conglomerates .
Since AT&T ’s vertical fusion got the all - clear from the court , it seems unlikely that Comcast ’s bidding will be challenged by a newly chastened Justice Department . In 2011 , when Comcast decided to merge with NBCUniversal , the FTC and DOJimposed conditionsto mitigate the deal ’s harm on competition within the media industry . But it ’ll be more difficult to assert on that variety of matter considering AT&T ’s very similar deal came with no strings impound .
When the FCC vacate net neutrality last yr , its chairman , Ajit Pai debate that company like Comcast were n’t place in broadband deployment because of uncertainty because of regulations . That ’s been rise to beutterly false . But it certainly does seem that Comcast has been socking aside a plenty of hard cash , and now that nett disinterest isofficiallyoff the Holy Scripture , it ’s using that cash to improve its networks and serve well the American peop — or , um , rather , bolt up Fox to become an even big media megacorp .
