29 + 15 = 44 billion dollars!!!! What is Comcast doing?? I’m not fan of Comcast or Universal, about the farthest thing from it, but atleast I’ll give them that they were good with money, or it seems now they were good with money.

It’s about Comcast getting a stronger European TV presence.

They are getting a bigger presence than they current have. Subscription drops is no different than here in the US.

Well, Disney paid 71 billion for Fox and that was definitely an overpayment as well.
