Wall Street Journal: Tom Wheeler, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has a message for cable chiefs: Just because regulators leaned against the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger doesn’t mean all future cable deals are doomed. In recent days, Wheeler is said to have called Time Warner Cable CEO Rob Marcus and Charter CEO Tom Rutledge, as well as other cable executives, to convey that they shouldn’t assume the agency is against any and all future cable deals just because the FCC’s staff wasn’t convinced the Comcast deal was in the public interest.
