"Comcast and GE are in the "midst of due diligence" for a deal that would give a Comcast 51 percent stake in NBC Universal, and GE 49 percent. It would merge with its own cable networks. The sticking point, for now, is Vivendi's 20 percent stake and its asking price of $6.3 billion. But, since GE and Comcast both "appear to favor" the deal, we can still probably expect 30 Rock cracks about having Comcastic days next season. [WSJ]" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

why can't ISP's be happy with simply being an access provider instead of trying to be a content provider? Cost of delivery of service too high for the current price point? How about the old fashioned way of meeting it - by upping the price. I willingly pay extra for a better connection with my ISP because they get it and deliver a good quality network. - alphaxion
