net neutrality in the sense that the u.s. court ever appeals for the district of columbia heard the case, heard our oral arguments last month. the court in fact seemed skeptical that the fcc even had legal authority to impose these mandates. one of the judges asked the fcc counsel quote whether he wanted to lose on process or jurisdiction, end quote. unless a condition is narrowly tailored to a transaction, specific harm to competition, it does not belong in this negotiation. since this deal will not tearily increase concentration in either the distribution or programming markets, demonstrating such harm will be difficult, especially in light of the robust competition in the video sector. mr. chairman, thank you for holding this hearing. if comcast and nbcu are right that this deal creates a stronger entity than can be, that can better serve viewers, i think it will succeed. if they're wrong, it will fail, just as the aol/time warner merger failed ultimately. as competitive as this market is, regulatory intervention is not only unnecessary, but it will hurt competition and consumers. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, ve
