RCN CEO Testifies That AT&T Merger Will Hurt Competition - Bloomberg
'Holanda also conceded that many of the subscribers RCN is currently losing are cord-cutters who stream programming, suggesting AT&T’s deal isn’t really the problem. '
'AT&T “will use Turner programming to disadvantage us,” Holanda said in Washington federal court, raising the “same concerns” RCN had with the Comcast deal. '
'Under cross-examination by AT&T attorney Rob Walters, Holanda conceded that RCN didn’t have any empirical data to back his claim that the company could lose subscribers as a result of the merger. '
'Holanda testified that the “baseball-style” arbitration was insufficient because it required RCN to make its “best and final bid” first without seeing what others are paying. '
