Aprill9, 2016 
Thank you for your letter regarding Charter Communications' proposed merger with 
Time Warner Cable and acquisition of Advance/Newhouse Partnership, the parent of Bright 
House Networks. I appreciate hearing your views. 
Consistent with our rules, the Commission will evaluate whether these proposed 
transactions are in the public interest. Our analysis on any transaction is always robust and takes 
several factors into account, including the issues you raise in your letter. Not only do we assess 
whether we can appropriately remedy any harms that may arise from the transaction, we also 
place great emphasis on the benefits that the transaction will confer on American consumers. 
While I am unable to discuss the merits of this particular proceeding, I can assure you that the 
Commission is conducting an open and transparent process as required by FCC rules and 
regulations. After developing a full and complete record, we hope to conclude our review as 
quickly as possible. 
Again, thank you for your interest in this matter. Your letter will be made part of the 
official record of the proceeding. 
Sincerely, ~ r&~~.L-
