Regulators Approve Charter's Buy Of Time Warner Cable In NY
ALBANY, N.Y. - Regulators on Friday approved Charter Communications' purchase of Time Warner Cable's New York subsidiaries while requiring new service commitments from it.
Charter Communications said the commitments include providing a minimum Internet data transfer speed of 60 megabits per second and offering speeds of 300 Mbps statewide in 2019.
New York's Public Service Commission said the upgrade should benefit 2 million customers upstate since Time Warner's highest speed north of New York City is 50 Mbps, while its standard service is 15 Mbps.
"With the conversion to an all-digital network, New Charter will introduce its 60 Mbps broadband service, enabling many Time Warner subscribers to obtain faster speeds at lower prices," the commission said in the order approved Friday.
Time Warner has about 3.3 million Internet, video and phone service customers in New York who would become Charter customers.
Stamford, Connecticut-based Charter said it will build out service networks to reach other homes and businesses in the territory. The expansion is expected to deliver high-speed service over four years to 145,000 customers not now served by New York-based Time Warner.
"We look forward to bringing many benefits including a superior high-speed, low-cost broadband service to families and seniors in New York," Chief Executive Tom Rutledge said.

New York State Approves Charter, Time Warner Cable Merger

In what will likely be the first of many, New York State regulators say they've approved Charter's $79 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable (including Bright House) -- with a few conditions. The New
York State Public Service Commission (PSC) ruled that in order to get approval, Charter needs to provide Internet, TV and phone services to all homes within the current Time Warner Cable service territory - including rural areas - and provide 300 Mbps Internet speeds to all New Yorkers by 2019.
Time Warner Cable already offers 300 Mbps in New York State, and while likely would have upgraded the rest of the state eventually, this deal might expedite those efforts.

Charter Low-Cost Broadband for Low-Income Seniors
Originally Appeared in Project Goal

http://theprojectgoal.org/charter-low-cost-broadband-for-low-income-seniors/
During the last few days of 2015, I was pleased to hear the announcement from Charter Communications that it intends to offer high-speed, low-cost broadband connectivity to seniors and low-income consumers. It will be available within six months of the close of its pending merger with Time Warner Cable (and the acquisition of Bright House Communications). This new program will join similar offerings from other broadband service providers such as Comcast and CenturyLink, and one soon to be offered by AT&T.
These programs are particularly important for low-income older adults. According to a Pew survey released in December 2015, currently only 45% of adults age 65 and older have a broadband connection at home. Among older adults who are low-income, the broadband adoption rates drop significantly.
These low adoption stats are particularly troubling because few populations stand to benefit from the Internet more than older adults. Online shopping may be a convenience for many of us, but it’s a lifeline for older adults with mobility challenges. For the aging population more prone to social isolation, connections forged through social media can drastically improve quality of life. And Internet-enabled advances in telemedicine can enhance health and wellness and allow older individuals to “age in place” at home, rather than in assisted-living facilities.
