Comcast Raises Concerns about Obama's Internet Proposal -- Market Talk

2236 EST (Dow Jones) If the Federal Communications Commission decides to follow President Barack Obama's call for stringent, utility-style regulations on broadband providers, there is no certainty that Comcast will go through with buying Time Warner Cable, according to a page-one article in The Wall Street Journal. Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen said Comcast will have to weigh whether any FCC order "is sufficiently bad for the broadband business that it would cause us not to go through with the transaction, or whether we'd go through with the transaction and simply have to be more conservative in our investment plans."
