Comcast, NBC To Make Case For Merger
From this morning's Earlybird:
• "Comcast and NBC Universal are trying to convince lawmakers that the cable TV operator's plan to take control of the NBC media empire is in the public interest," AP reports. "The CEOs for Comcast Corp. and NBC Universal are scheduled to testify" today "at separate House and Senate subcommittee hearings."
• "The proposed union of Comcast and NBC Universal has triggered opposition from a predictably long list of public interest groups, but criticism from the cable industry and NBC's television affiliates could prove tougher for corporate brass to dismiss during congressional hearings on the merger today," CongressDailyPM (subscription) reports.
• "Under an agreement that is still being finalized, the National Security Agency would help Google analyze a major corporate espionage attack that the firm said originated in China and targeted its computer networks, according to cybersecurity experts familiar with the matter," the Washington Post reports. "The objective is to better defend Google -- and its users -- from future attack."
