The cable giant also says its proposed merger with Time Warner Cable will benefit online video providers like Netflix.
If a $55 billion merger between Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable is completed, the marriage will result in a bigger company that commands about 15 percent of the nation's cable and satellite subscribers and 22 percent of its broadband subscribers.
Naturally, concern about the ramifications of consolidation has ensued. This week, Charter answered its critics with a filing at the FCC that among other things, stresses its commitment to the principles of net neutrality.
