Although lawmakers have no formal role in
reviewing mergers and acquisitions, Senator Patrick Leahy, a
Vermont Democrat, said in a statement that the deal "touches on
important policy questions" about how Americans access pay TV
and the Internet. "It also presents a critical moment to discuss net neutrality
principles that have allowed the Internet to remain an open
marketplace for ideas," Leahy said. (Reporting by David Ingram; editing by Marguerita Choy) [© 2014 Thomson Reuters. All rights reserved.] Copyright 2014 Reuters. All rights reserved. This material may not be published,
