Comcast Touts Accessibility as Benefit to Mega Merger

Multichannel News: The week after Comcast pitched VOD and its third annual Xfinity Watchathon Week as a reason for regulators to approve its proposed deal with Time Warner Cable, the company did the same this week with respect to features and other enhancements that make its services and products more accessible, including the recently launched X1 “talking guide” for the blind and visually impaired. Comcast has also touted the additional competition it would bring to the business services market as a benefit of the proposed TWC deal.
