Charter-Cox Merger
California: Your Voice Can Help Close This Deal
The Charter-Cox merger has cleared nearly every regulatory hurdle in the country. The FCC, the DOJ, sixteen states, and more than 100 local communities have all approved it. The CPUC is the last step - and their public comment window is open right now.
USHBC President & CEO Javier Palomarez and California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce President & CEO Julian Cañete wrote in the Sacramento Bee about what approval means for working families and small businesses in California: lower prices, better speeds, and infrastructure that reflects the demands of today’s digital economy.
Make your voice heard. Tell the CPUC you support the Charter-Cox merger.
