Comcast is insatiable.

In fact, it’s like the corporate embodiment of Veruca Salt mixed with a dash of Augustus Gloop.

Like Veruca, it’s never content with its lot. Like Augustus, it’s an unrepentant glutton. Put them together and you have a nightmare worse than anything you might find in the pages of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The bloated Comcast already owns NBCUniversal, itself a mammoth entertainment empire. It’s already the nation’s No. 1 provider of cable and Internet services. But it’s hungry for more.

If Comcast’s merger with Time Warner Cable goes through, its service area will cover almost two-thirds of the United States. And it will be our nation’s only broadband provider capable of delivering both Internet and pay-TV services to nearly four out of every 10 U.S. homes.
