Reuters: Altice’s acquisition of U.S. cable group Suddenlink has not dampened its interest in buying much larger Time Warner Cable, a source familiar with the matter said. “Altice is very keen on Time Warner Cable,” the person said after Altice’s announcement of the $9.1 billion Suddenlink buy. Talks between Altice and Time Warner Cable are continuing, the person said, but the European company faces competition for the second-largest cable group in the U.S. from John Malone’s Charter.
