Philadelphia Inquirer: Comcast’s stunning decision in late April to abandon its $45 billion deal for Time Warner Cable will likely lead to a lull for the acquisitive cable giant, experts say. Wall Street analysts said that federal regulators seem hostile to any new big transaction that Comcast brings to Washington and that they expect the merger-hungry company to lay low for a year or so, perhaps until a new president is sworn in to office in early 2017. “Comcast is likely sidelined for the time being for any material transactions. Even large content deals would be a tough sell.”
