Washington, DC 20554

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I write to express my support and share the views of 100 Black Men of America ("the 100") on the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

The mission of the 100 is to improve the quality of life within our communities and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans. Comcast has exemplified our values by investing to improve the communities they serve.

The Internet Essentials program is just one example of Comcast's dedication to the community. Over the past three years Comcast has worked to inform the public of their program that provides affordable Internet to low-income homes. As an organization that seeks to improve the education of African American youths and communities, we stand behind Comcast and commend them for their hard work connecting 1.2 million Americans and counting. In this digital age it is imperative for students to have computers and Internet access and we applaud Comcast for their efforts to eradicate the digital divide.

The 100 is most excited about the prospects for new investments in infrastructure that may result from this merger. Comcast has consistently stood out among their competition as a leader in innovation and technology, constantly improving their service quality and increasing their Internet speeds. These investments are valuable not only to consumers but to small and mid-sized businesses and entrepreneurs looking for ways to enhance their services, reach new customers or simply cut costs. Future Comcast markets should be excited to take advantage of these investments.

Our organization is impressed with the efforts Comcast has made in increasing diversity and inclusion practices within the company. Since the merger with NBCUniversal they have introduced new leadership training programs and modified their recruiting practices, all in an effort to entice a more diverse range of employee talent. Externally they work with a diverse range of vendors and have partnered with minority chambers of commerce in different communities to identify potential minority-owned vendors.

Comcast is a passionate member of the communities they serve. They go above and beyond the duties of a service provider seeking to do more than collect money; they truly fight to make their communities better. It is my hope that this is clear to the FCC and they make the right choice and approve this merger.

Sincerely,

/s/ Curley M. Dossman, Jr.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler,

On behalf of the more than 800 business members of the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Greater Springfield (ACCGS), a regional chamber of commerce in the greater Springfield, MA area, I am writing in support of the mater in the above docket number.

One of the major parts of this long established chamber of commerce has been to promote economic growth in this area. Comcast has been an active member of this chamber for many years and I believe it is because we share that same mission of assisting businesses in the area and preparing the area for those businesses seeking to locate here. We have worked jointly together on projects throughout the years and therefore, I write this letter in support of the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

While Comcast is certainly a national business, I am always impressed how focused they are to this area and offer their support on some of our most important programs ranging from our signature Outlook event that is held every year and features prominent speakers on the federal, state, and local levels, giving those 800 businesses in attendance a firsthand report on major issues they all face, to our day at the state house allowing for one on one visits to policy makers. I also know firsthand of the support they give to some of our other member businesses, ranging from early education providers to many of the programs assisting some of our minority communities here in the Springfield area.

This level of support is vital to this chamber and it is reassuring to know that we have such a partner in Comcast. While I would like to think that we are unique in this level of support, I believe this is found in almost every area in which Comcast operates now and will operate in the future. On behalf of the members of the ACCGS, I offer this letter of support of the Comcast and Time Warner Cable merger without reservation and with the belief that their high level of community involvement will only be stronger in future. Please feel free to contact me if I can share any other information with you that you might find helpful.

Sincerely,

Re: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I am writing to voice my support for the transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. As the Executive Director of Alternatives, Inc. in Chicago, our agency has consistently benefited by our partnership with Comcast Corporation. I believe that the Federal Communications Commission's approval would create a greater opportunity for the teens and young adults across the country like – similar to the impact Comcast has afforded Chicago's youth.

Alternatives, Inc. was established in 1971 with the mission to provide at "alternative" programs for at-risk youth so that they would focus their energy into constructive extra-curricular activities while building skills that support their future. As a corporate partner, Comcast has not only embraced our mission but engaged in supporting our work to accomplish our mission. Comcast's involvement with the Digital Connectors program emphasizes the importance of leadership and well-established technical skills. Comcast has been an exemplary corporate representative who engages with the community while building workforce skills.

The Comcast Digital Connections program offers a very broad curriculum to train youth in Internet and computer skills. At the same time the youth are learning technical skills, they are engaged with community service learning projects. Comcast's Digital Connections initiative has been enormously successful with our agency, the youth and the community, and I am confident it will continue as it expands into Time Warner Cable markets.

In addition to its impact on Alternatives' participants in community engagement, Comcast has influenced the environment in which our students learn at home. Internet Essentials – a Comcast broadband adoption initiative for low-income families – has been a great resource for some of our participants to gain access to the Internet and continue their technology education at home. This initiative created an inside and out of the classroom option which made it a great addition to

the Digital Connectors program and goal to reduce the digital literacy gap. To my knowledge, around 33,000 families are enrolled in Chicago's Internet Essentials program which is a significant achievement.

Comcast's investment and commitment to Alternatives, Inc. as a partner and educator has been at a depth that is important for our agency's growth and young people's development. With the addition of Time Warner Cable, these efforts will continue to improve and grow - benefitting similar organizations, youth and communities. I encourage you to approve this transaction.

Sincerely,

Re: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler,

The Asian American Education Institute is a non-partisan 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to establishing programs to educate the Asian American community about civics and their voting rights in California. According to the Pew Research Center, Asian Americans have the highest Internet use among all groups in America. 87% of Asian Americans are online every day and 83% of Asian Americans receive their news from online sources. In order to best fulfill our mission, it is essential that the Asian American community has access to the broadest range of Internet access as it has become the dominant channel for the community to receive news about the issues that affect them the most.

As such, the Asian American Education Institute supports the pending merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable because of the following reasons:

First and foremost, the merger will improve delivery of broadband services to key Asian American communities in California. Comcast’s cutting edge technology will improve the speed and reliability of broadband services in Time Warner Cable’s current subscriber base in Southern California where Asian Americans are now the largest immigrant group.

2.	The merger will extend Comcast’s current commitment to net neutrality rules that were a part of its merger with NBCUniversal to Time Warner Cable’s current subscriber base.

The merger will provide low-cost access to the Internet to more communities through Comcast’s Internet Essentials program. This benefit is particularly important to the Asian American community because of a recent report issued by the National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (CAPACD) in September of 2013 that showed a dramatic increase in AAPI poverty (45.2%) from 2011 to 2012. The numeric growth of AAPI poverty represents almost a third of the total increase in poverty among the general population.

Comcast has a proven and recognized record of supporting the Asian American community as a corporate partner. Comcast has consistently invested in programs that support diversity in corporate affairs, supplier diversity, and diversity in media content. DiversityBusiness.com named Comcast and NBCUniversal among its "Top 50 Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities" and Equal Opportunity Magazine ranked Comcast among its 2014 "Top 50 Employers."

The expanded access to the Internet through new technology, expanded low-cost services, and extended net neutrality is essential to keeping Asian American communities educated and engaged in the political process. The Asian American Education Institute believes that the merger of Comcast with Time Warner Cable is essential to ensuring an engaged and educated Asian American electorate.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

On behalf of the ASPIRA Association, Inc., ASPIRA of Florida, Inc., ASPIRA of New Jersey, Inc., ASPIRA of New York, Inc., and ASPIRA of Pennsylvania, Inc., non-profit organizations dedicated exclusively to the education and development of low-income Latino youth, we write to express our full support of the proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable by Comcast. The ASPIRA Association, ASPIRA of Florida, Inc., and ASPIRA of Pennsylvania, have a long history and working relationship with Comcast at a national and at statewide levels. ASPIRA of New York and ASPIRA of New Jersey have an equally long-standing relationship with Time Warner Cable. We believe that the combined companies will result in significant benefits for our community, especially in advancing the educational and leadership capabilities of the Latino youth we serve, by further bridging the digital divide. Specifically, the expansion of the Internet Essentials program to the Time Warner footprint, and the deployment of the fastest and most advanced networks in the country in these states, will greatly benefit low-income Latino youth and families that still lack access to affordable broadband.

For several years, ASPIRA has been a national partner with Comcast on a variety of initiatives, but is most proud of its long-standing partnership with Comcast on its Internet Essentials program that provides low cost broadband Internet access and low-cost computers to low income families. Internet Essentials has made great strides in bringing internet access and digital literacy training to low-income children and families across the country, connecting more than 1.2 million individuals and distributing more than 23,000 computers at affordable prices. Through our partnership with Comcast, ASPIRA has been able to provide Internet access to hundreds of families served by ASPIRA, significantly enhancing their children’s education and their overall quality of life. In schools and community centers across South Florida, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, ASPIRA has actively participated in the program since its inception and has witnessed the benefit to families from Internet Essentials. As we continue to engage these communities and teach skills to thrive in this digital age in these states, we sincerely hope to be able to expand these programs to the families we serve in areas currently served by Time Warner Cable.

Comcast’s support of the Latino community goes beyond Internet Essentials. Comcast has supported numerous local and national programs for youth in our communities, including a host of education initiatives, and ASPIRA’s youth leadership development program, a testament to Comcast’s commitment to communities as a responsible corporate citizen. This commitment will be extended to other areas of the country currently served by Time Warner Cable, broadening opportunities for youth and families. Finally, Comcast has a strong and long-

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I am writing to express appreciation for the role Comcast consistently plays in investing in our community. I work at Aurora Public Schools (APS) as a Community Engagement Advocate and also serve as an elected official of Aurora City Council, and have seen the many different ways that Comcast provides valuable support to address community needs. It is because of Comcast's ongoing commitment to investing in and strengthening our community that I believe the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable is worthy of your consideration.

I have seen Comcast provide college scholarships to APS high school seniors every year for the last several years to support their post-secondary educational plans, which has meant a great deal to our Aurora families. More than 70% of all students in our district qualify for the free or reduced school lunch program; with so many of our families living in poverty, paying for college can prove very difficult. Comcast's annual scholarship program has helped make college a reality for many of our young leaders.

Our school district is also grateful for the many opportunities we have had to work in partnership with Comcast to make our families aware of the Internet Essentials program, which makes home Internet service affordable for low-income families. Every year for the last four years, Comcast has sponsored an annual back-to-school event that I help lead for the district, and their support helps us donate backpacks filled with school supplies to 4,000 students in need every August. Comcast staff members have also attended this event each year to share information about Internet Essentials with the nearly 8,000 parents and students who attend.

Comcast also has been a sponsor of the Aurora Public Schools Education Foundation for several years, where I serve as a board member along with a Comcast leader who recently became chair of our board. Comcast's support and participation is helping the Foundation create valuable resources in every APS high school that will enable our students to identify post-secondary education and training opportunities, and help them apply for and secure the financial aid and scholarships that can make those opportunities a reality.

Our school communities have also benefited for many years from Comcast Cares Day projects, as the company has included APS projects as part of this annual day of volunteer service. The Comcast Cares Day projects have served as a wonderful means of bringing together Comcast employees, their families, school district leaders, board of education members, students, teachers, and other members of the Aurora community to work on service projects that have greatly benefited our schools and the students they serve. I have seen these volunteers work hard to clean up school grounds, paint classrooms, install new landscaping for school playground areas, and more. We are grateful for this commitment and support, and delighted to know that another APS project will be included in Comcast Cares Day next April.

As a member of Aurora City Council, I also appreciate the strong business relationship Comcast has with our local businesses and our city. including carrying the Aurora Channel 8, which broadcasts City Council meetings for public viewing and offers a variety of local-area programming and news for Aurora citizens. I believe Comcast's culture of investing in communities will continue as the company expands, thereby reaching more families in need through efforts such as Comcast's annual college scholarship program, Internet Essentials, Comcast Cares Day, and more. We are grateful for Comcast's commitment to strengthening Aurora.

Dear Chairman and Commissioners,

The Austin Chamber of Commerce represents 3,000 business members employing nearly 200,000 Individuals. The Austin area has over 4,000 tech companies that employ 120,000 workers. Austin is the 11th most populated city in the U.S. Austin and is the country's fastest growing MSA over the past 10 years averaging more than 100 new residents moving to the area in the past three years alone. Our metropolitan area also exceeds the U.S. average significantly for percentage of telecommuting employees which makes up 6.5% of our workforce. We have a chamber goal to increase the percentage of work from home employees to 15% by 2020.

Austin is known for its innovative companies and as an incubator for great American technology companies. Time Warner cable has been an excellent community partner and Comcast is a major contributor to the overall Texas economy, spending more than $600 million in Texas last year. We believe that extending Comcast's service to Austin will be a good fit with the tech-savvy lifestyle of our community and for aggressive goal of more telecommuting employees.

We respectfully ask that you approve the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction, as we see abundant promise in the proposal.

Comcast offers enhanced access through its secure and reliable network for businesses. With speeds up to 10 GB per second this service would help business owners in the Austin community to boost productivity, provide fast and responsive customer service and move functions into the cloud. Comcast's network is not only fast but is flexible and has the capacity needed to evolve as demand for bandwidth increases.

On the video side, Comcast has gone all digital enabling consumers access to their video services through groundbreaking, access-everywhere technology. Businesses and individuals on the move increasingly depend on the flexibility provided by Internet hotspots to stay in touch, make deals and

carry out other day-to-day business functions outside of the office. Comcast's Xflnity service could offer just that opportunity for our city.

The proposed transaction seems to us to be a sensible solution for meeting the public's desire for premiere digital broadband and video service throughout Texas and the United States.

Thank you for your consideration of our request for this transaction's approval.

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

My name is Constantino Schwarz, and I am the CEO of BabyFirst Americas, as well as a US military veteran, a Kaitz graduate, and a proud father. BabyFirst Americas was founded with the following goals in mind:

1)	Bring great content, with Latino cultural elements, created by Latinos to all American children, and introduce the beautiful Latino culture to every child in America.

2)	Help narrow the educational gap by offering Latino parents the ability to help their children integrate into American society, while maintaining a strong connection to their Latino heritage and bilingual communication.

3)	Promote independent Latino content and talent, in front of and behind the camera, and give them the opportunity to express their work to a major audience.

Comcast's support of BabyFirst Americas demonstrates the collective commitment of both Comcast and the network to bilingual education and entertainment, as well as to viewers seeking content in both English and Spanish. Throughout our relationship, Comcast has been an invaluable and trusted partner, and has over-delivered on their promises to our network. We fully support the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner.

Comcast gave BabyFirst Americas a significant boost by providing broad distribution which over time has led to approximately 75% of Comcast's digital tier. Comcast's support for our network over the last two years demonstrates how great Comcast is in supporting diversity and independent channels. This distribution helped validate the network's credibility and value proposition to the rest of the industry. Comcast was the first to offer BabyFirst Americas via a simultaneous dual feed encompassing a Latino tier in Spanish and a concurrent separate tier in English. The dual tier brings the network to both Latinos and the country's mainstream viewing audience.

BabyFirst Americas was selected for launch by Comcast from a variety of submissions through a transparent and robust selection process. Key factors supporting the network's selection included its unique mission and strong programming slate; its experienced professional leadership team; and a solid business plan that was fully funded through its existing distribution in Latin America and other countries.

In addition, BabyFirst Americas had many supporters in the Latino community, including; Mary Alice Cisneros, San Antonio City Council and President, American Sunrise; Dr. Eugene E. García, Professor & Vice President Education Partnerships, Arizona State University; Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch, Founder & President, Educational Achievement Services, Inc.; and, Michael L. López, Ph.D., Executive Director, National Center for Latino Child & Family Research, among others.

The network's leadership also met with many other influential members of the Latino community, including educational and cultural thought-leaders, as well as members of Congress, who further helped to guide the channel in the launch phase and continue to support the network.

BabyFirst Americas features content introducing key developmental concepts such as numbers, animals, colors, shapes, music, animals, art and more; programs that reflect the culture of American Latinos, such as childhood songs, games and stories; fitness and nutrition and is developmentally appropriate for babies, toddlers and their parents and supervised by a worldwide advisory board of early childhood education experts. BabyFirst America's content is especially valuable to Latino families in helping overcome the serious verbal deficit of young Latino children, which is a top concern and priority of young Latino families and educators.

The network's shows have been honored with multiple Latin Grammy and Emmy nominations, and have created a vibrant storefront for talented content creators within the Latino community. For example the show Atencion, Atencion, has won the Latino Grammy award and the Company's most recent original production, Dance Time Boys, was directed and produced by Peter Michael Escovedo III, an Emmy nominated Musical Director / Producer, and recognized percussionist, producer, singer, songwriter, and television personality. As of December 2013, the network's ratings numbers had more than doubled with the Latino index among viewers rising simultaneously. Further, 97% of moms were watching with their children, encouraging bonding and interaction between parents and children, and the viewing time of the network had increased to 94.5 minutes a day - outperforming all other women's and preschool networks.

We are hopeful that Comcast's expension will provide us an opportunity to reach even more homes, and introduce this important content to babies, toddlers and their parents nationwide.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

This year marks the 26th Anniversary of the Beaverton Education Foundation (BEF) and for more than seven of those years we have worked closely with Comcast. Because of highly favorable view of the company, we are writing to encourage you to approve Comcast’s proposed merger with Time Warner Cable.

BEF is committed to raising money to provide hands-on innovative academic enrichment and advancement programs and projects for all 51 Beaverton public schools. Our funding supports innovated classroom, summer, and after-school programs. We rely on school families, our community members, and local businesses for supporting the programs that we fund because they are not mandated or funded by the state. Companies like Comcast have been a big help in our effort to support our school system.

Comcast has worked with our organization and our efforts throughout the community for the past seven years. We have worked with Comcast on our “Extended Day” programs, which focus on promoting technology literacy and access in middle schools. The schools this program helps would not otherwise be able to afford to run such a program. We have teamed up with Comcast to help promote their Internet Essentials program to Extended Day participants. We know that children who have access to the Internet are far more likely to succeed in school; it is our goal that every child is afforded the same opportunities to excel.

Our long partnership with Comcast has benefitted our schools and our community and we hope to continue working with them for many more years. In our view, allowing Comcast to grow and serve more communities can only benefit those communities. It is our hope that the Commission recognizes how Comcast’s community-oriented attitude serves the public interest and that it will approve the proposed transaction.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

My name is Ann Sheehan and I am the Executive Director of Berks Community Television (BCTV) in Reading, Pennsylvania. BCTV is a nonprofit organization that provides cable programming via the Internet and two cable TV stations. We encourage and invite community members to actively participate in shaping our programs by submitting stories, photographs, event information, opinions and reviews of local entities that would be of interest to the community. Our primary purpose is to enhance the unity and strength of the community by providing a medium for community dialogue and educational opportunities and a forum for the exchange of information and ideas.

BCTV is also the third-party manager of the City of Reading's Community and Government Access Channels. As the Executive Director of BCTV, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Comcast, whose technical assistance, funding and various other kinds of support have been a large part of the success and growth of our organization.

In 2013, thanks to Comcast's carriage of our network, we had the opportunity to expand to Boyertown, in the eastern part of Berks County,. We are hopeful that in reaching new households, relevant and critical information can be shared among neighboring communities.

Local community television stations are present nationwide - and since many of them are community-funded nonprofits, it can be hard to come across both financial and technical support. Comcast has a strong track record of supporting community programming like BCTV, and it is my understanding that through the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable, Comcast will be able to provide that same support in new markets.

In the nonprofit sector, where technological advancement can often be extremely expensive, we are fortunate to have the unwavering and loyal support of a large partner such as Comcast. I urge you to consider the positive impacts of a transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable and to act favorably.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I am contacting the Commission as the Senior Vice-President of External Affairs for Bienvenidos Children's Center to outline the ways that a successful transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable would benefit my organization.

Bienvenidos Children's Center was founded in 1986 as an emergency residential facility for children removed from their homes. Since then, we have grown into a multi-faceted social service organization that offers a comprehensive array of services intended to empower children and their families, while also being culturally responsive and effective models of prevention and intervention. In addition to providing quality services, we advocate for a society where our vision of every family being able to provide loving, healthy and secures homes for children to grow and thrive in can be realized.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on good corporate citizens who value our vision and goals and are willing to offer their support and services. Among the many benefits that the addition of a good corporate citizen of Comcast's caliber would bring to our region is its broadband adoption program, Internet Essentials. If the children we work with could have access to the Internet at home, it would be a huge step in the right direction towards giving families the support and resources they need to become strong, resilient, and self-reliant members of society. The children would be able to complete homework assignments using the same tools as their classmates and families would be able to acquire the skills necessary to remain competitive in the workplace.

Our organization currently has nine locations in four Southern California counties - Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino. As a non-profit organization with limited means, the prospect of having access to Comcast's business class service is promising for us. All of our locations would be able to operate using one service provider, which would ensure competitive prices and allow for better communications between our offices. Being able to have advanced IT services, virus protection software, and access to cloud computing applications would allow our organization to run more efficiently and smoothly, which would then allow us to dedicate more time to the children with whom we work.

I am certain that other social service organizations in the region could similarly benefit from Comcast's services and programs, and so I hope that you approve this transaction. Thank you.

Regards,

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

I am the Community Manager for the Champaign County division f Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Illinois. For more than 14 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Champaign County, has matched area children to positive adult role models. Guidance for boys and girls approaching their teen years, especially those who are economically disadvantaged, is such a critical requirement for development of healthy attitudes and behaviors. Yes, due to single-parent families and the tendency for decling supervision of youngsters as they reach middle school, many children lack the proper attention discipline and guidance they need. For more than a century, mentors assigned through Big Brothers Big Sisters have filled that need.

The research show that children who are mentored through Big Brothers Big Sisters earn better school grades are less likely to drop out of school or start using alcohol and illegal durgs, and are even liess likely to hit someone. Our volunteer mentors, or ‘Big’, are the force behind these striking outcomes. In Central Illinois and hundres of locations around the country, the employees of Comcast have been a major source of mentors and critical support for Big Brothers and Sisters. Especially in the last five-pus years, Comcast has made an astounding impact on our organization. I understand that the Commission is considering the Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction. Please approve the transaction for the benefit of many, not the least of which are ‘Littes’ across the U.S. who have so much to gain.

One of the greatest ways that Comcast supports Big Brothers Big Sisters is through the company’s own program called “Beyond School Walls”. Comcast employee “Bigs” host their “Littles” at company offices for regular visits. The children take part in activities that enrich their academic and social skills and join in fun gatherings arranged by their “bigs”. In addition, year after year Comcast is a major partner for our National Leadership Summit, during which mentors chosen as “Bigs of the Year” are honored. In 2012, because of its outstanding commitment to mentoring children, Comcast received our President’s Award.

Another very important role that Comcast plays in the lives of “Littles”, and other children wherever the company operates is providing links between student and educational opportunities available in the digital world. So much learning now occurs online. Children must have access to fast broadband to keep up with and surpass students across the globe. However, income of the lack thereof sadly plays a role in too many homes, which children lacking access to the Internet and the tools they need to be successful in school. Fortunately, a few years ago, Comcast launched its Internet Essentials program. Low-income families can now affort to connect to the Internet because Comcast gives them a special $9.95 a month rate. It also sells computers that cost less than $150. This isn’t just a nice luxury- children need the Internet because schools require student to complete homework online, send emails to teachers and carry out research on the Internet. Hundreds of thousands of families have benefited from Internet Essentials nationwide, including almost 40,000 in Illinois.

I believe that the outcome of a Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction will be more opportunities for children, more advancement in digital connectivity and more communite growing stronger for having Comcast as a committed corporate partner. Please don’t hesitate to approve this transaction.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I write to you today to share the perspective of the New York chapter of the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) on the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

The NBCC is dedicated to economically empowering and sustaining African American communities by facilitating entrepreneurship and free enterprise activity within New York. Supporting organizations that share our commitment is fundamental to our mission, and Comcast has shown itself to be determined in their pursuit of greater cultural and creative diversity. Their determination is not just theoretical – it has consistently been put into practice.

Since 2011, women and minority hiring has risen to 40 percent of Comcast’s total workforce, and Comcast has launched five new independent cable TV networks and established a diversity advisory council. The results of this speak for themselves: in 2013 its rating as a top place to work for both women and minorities won the company two awards. The idea that this transaction could mean that New Yorkers will benefit from these practices is exciting for us.

Comcast’s reputation for working with minority-owned suppliers represents a tremendous opportunity for our members. Since 2011, Comcast’s spending with minority-owned suppliers and vendors increased by 20%. Their commitment to promoting diversity through economic empowerment has, like their hiring practices, also been awarded; in 2013 DiversityBusiness.com rated Comcast among its Top 50 Organizations for Multicultural Business for the eighth consecutive year. We look forward to assisting Comcast in seeking local Black-owned suppliers.

In every respect Comcast has shown itself to be a champion of cultural diversity and has provided economic opportunity to individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Their leadership in this area has been exemplary, and I encourage you to take this into consideration when reviewing the proposed transaction.

Sincerely,

/s/ Tosha Miller

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As someone who has seen Comcast's devotion to the communities it serves, I am happy to write this letter in support of its transaction with Time Wamer Cable. I am the President and CEO of New England's largest Latino newspaper, El Mundo. We have long been a media partner of Comcast and NBCUniversal and have worked with them on a variety of events and issues to raise the profile of Boston's Hispanic community. Comcast has always been a forward-thinking company -- and one of our strongest supporters. I believe a greater presence nationwide would have a positive impact on the new communities Comcast would serve, Including the minority populations within them.

I come from a mixed Hispanic background: my father was born in Havana, Cuba and my mother is a native of Ecuador. l was raised to believe that, while we all come from a variety of backgrounds, Latinos must speak as one voice in order to make the biggest impression. At El Mundo, we bring together all Hispanic backgrounds to keep our community informed on local news and to raise our profile through annual media events, such as the one noted below.

Anything sports related generally captures the interest of a large portion of our readers so 20 years ago we partnered with the Boston Red Sox to launch a series of Latino outreach events. One of our most popular is the "Latino Youth Recognition Day at Fenway Park". This nationally recognized community outreach program includes a pre-Red Sox game ceremony honoring top Latino academic achievers. To date, the program has honored over l,5OO Latino public school students in Massachusetts for their academic achievements and has given away over 15,000 Red Sox tickets to the Latino community.

Comcast provides generous, annual support for this program and helped us to create the "Comcast Latino Family Festival", also held at Fenway Park, in which proceeds go to charities and non-profits that benefit the Latino community.

Comcast's commitment to improving the economic outlook for Hispanic low-income

students and families goes beyond these events and into the hearts of our communities through its "Internet Essentials" program.

This program, which offers low-cost Internet, computers and free bilingual digital training services at local community centers, has helped to level the playing field across our education system. Our students and parents can not only access computers and the internet for the first time through this program, but can also attain free guidance in how to make good use of them . This type of program truly offers solutions for minority and disadvantaged communities to get ahead because these populations are disproportionately on the wrong side of the digital gap, and I am happy to hear that Comcast has extended this program indefinitely.

I am proud of the impact we have made in Boston, but there is still more work to be done here and in many cities across the country. Hispanics make up over 16% of the American population, yet continue to be underrepresented in government, the media and in community leadership programs.

Comcast has already displayed a high level of commitment to promoting Latino communities, and I believe that the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable will only further this promise.

I encourage the FCC to approve the transaction as soon as possible.

RE: MB Docker No. 14-57

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

On behalf of the Boys and Girls Club of Mercer County I wou ld like to share our views on the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

The Boys and Girls Club of Mercer County is a safe haven for the youths of Trenton, providing them with academic enrichment and recreational activities through various programs. More than 2,300 young people benefit from our programs, including a high school program that prepares teens for life post-graduation with paid internships and job training. Comcast shares our dedication to assisting youths as they forge their futures and has become a strong partner to our Club and other across the country.

We partner with the local Comcast team to help implement the Internet Essentials program in Trenton by spreading awareness about the program among our after school technology program participants. Our efforts are really beginning to bear fruit, having more than doubled the total number or participating households in 2013.

Technology and access to broadband is critical in today's world and it is for that reason we support Comcast's expansion which would provide our sister Clubs in other areas the opportunity to partner with a company such as Comcast who shares their mission of helping youth.

Very truly yours,

/s/ David Anderson

People often have a misconception of what the Boys and Girls Club does. It has long been thought that the Club is a space where underprivileged kids can come to stay off the streets when they have nowhere else to go. In some cases this is still true, but our services and mission have grown to be much more comprehensive. As executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Salem, Oregon I have been a part of this exciting transformation.

Our organizational goal is to develop the full potential of each of our participants through our program services model. Using a 360-degree approach, we first focus on positive development as well as prevention and intervention programs where we see a need. We then ensure that the essential needs including food, health/dental care, safety and supportive relationships are present in each of our children's lives. Once fundamental needs have been met we work with our boys and girls towards academic success, character/citizenship development and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Our final step is to provide transformational opportunities through creating active learning environments, access to occupational experts and alignment of academic and career pathways. As you can see our reach is extensive and just last year we served nearly 11,900 youth in our community alone. As a nonprofit organization, we need assistance from larger for profit organizations to be able to carry on with our mission. Comcast has been integral to our growth and success and I am urging you to consider the Comcast and Time Warner Cable (TWC) transaction to move forward so children in other communities across the country can experience the same support that ours in Salem, Marion and Polk counties have.

One of my favorite programs offered through the Boys and Girls Club is Club Tech. Club Tech launched in 2000, and through a partnership with Comcast, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America have been able to work to bridge the digital divide. We have even been fortunate enough locally to host a digital literacy night to promote and develop the skills necessary to be successful in today's society. 1cannot stress enough how critical a program like Club Tech is for opening new opportunities for our boys and girls.

As if Comcast's sponsorship of Club Tech wasn't enough, they saw a need to provide low-cost Internet and computers to lower income children and their families at home as well. In 2011 Comcast launched their Internet Essentials {IE) program that allows families with one or more children enrolled in free/reduced lunch to access the Internet for just $9.95 per month as well as purchase an Internet ready computer for $149.99. Since its inception IE has grown rapidly with the number of activations increasing by almost 6 times in Oregon between 2011 and 2013. We have been sure to educate our communities about this opportunity and I was happy to read that Oregon is exceeding the national average for eligible activations.

In addition to the technological infrastructure and support Comcast has offered the Club, we have been lucky enough to be a partner for their day of service initiative, Comcast Cares Day. I believe that this day has grown into the largest national day of service amongst any corporation in America. I am thrilled that we've been a part of that for several years and that our children can see what it means to give back to your community.

As a long-running nonprofit organization we know the importance of partnerships with organizations that can help support our mission. Comcast goes above and beyond what is necessary and our children and communities flourish because of their involvement. I ask you to please consider the stories of Boys and Girls Clubs nationwide when considering approving a transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable and understand the benefit that it would bring to new clubs, communities and youth.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

In my role as the president of the Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County (BGCAA), Maryland, I often have the opportunity to consider what fosters a strong community and what makes someone a good citizen, or an organization a good corporate citizen, and how those two elements work in tandem. It is with that connection in mind that I encourage you to consider the benefits the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction could bring to community-based organizations like the BGCAA.

BGCAA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that all youth from the ages of 6 to 18 have access to affordable after-school, and out-of-school, programs. BGCAA reaches more than 2,200 youth every year in four Annapolis Clubs and our Clubs in Pasadena and Severn. BGCAA is part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which annually serves nearly 4 million young people through membership and community outreach in some 4,000 Club facilities throughout the country.

As part of this organization, BGCAA is dedicated to providing a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.

It is that mission which brings the Boys & Girls Clubs of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County in line with Comcast's strong record of community involvement, both locally and nationally. The partnership between Comcast and the BGCAA is an active and cooperative one. Comcast employees have served on our board of directors, sponsored our annual Youth of the Year Awards since 2000, helped us promote the clubs via their "Comcast Newsmaker" program and our Bates Club location has hosted multiple Comcast Cares Day events since 2008. Comcast has also supported our "Club Tech" program, a national digital literacy and technology skills initiative that is building our young members' computer skills and seamlessly integrating technology across our program areas.

When Comcast launched the Internet Essentials program, materials were distributed at each of our six clubs, and we hosted a digital literacy training class in conjunction with the program. The potential of Comcast's broadband network expanding through the transaction and the importance of its Internet Essentials program, which provides

affordable Internet access to more than 350,000 households, match with the BGCAA's goal of ensuring all of our members have a strategy for success, both in school and in life. Whether in education or job training, access to technology is vital for our members and to the many stakeholders of the community-based organizations with which Comcast partners nationwide.

Whether through the infrastructure needed to expand broadband adoption and provide affordable Internet access to the families in our community, or through its continuing support of our mission, Comcast has already been an example of good corporate citizenship and continued community investment.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Regards,

At the Boys & Girls Club of Fresno County our mission is to enable all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. We have witnessed how Comcast demonstrates responsible corporate citizenship, particularly through Comcast programs that support the communities they serve. Comcast invests heavily in their communities and have provided opportunities for underserved and impoverished youth here in Fresno County. Our work together to prepare Club youth as participants to succeed in school and in life through tech skills training has been very fruitful. As with other Boys & Girls Club chapters nationwide, we are a Comcast “Internet Essentials” digital literacy training partner, incorporating free skill-building courses into our existing afterschool tech training programs for disadvantaged youth. We have also distributed information and sign-up materials to our participants to bring home. We know our efforts are part of the reason why more than 9,200 homes in the Fresno area have signed up for Internet Essentials. It is inspiring to see an organization that cares and assist so generously. When you are considering this proposed merger, please think about all of the young men and women who could thrive with the help of Comcast in other markets in California and throughout the country. Thank you for listening to our input.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As President of Boys & Girls Club of Miami-Dade, I am vested in growing and strengthening this organization in order to best serve local children. This growth and success simply would not possible without contributions and support from partners like Comcast. Comcast's commitment and contributions have helped us maintain and expand our programs. As such, I want to express my support of the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction as Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade is committed to further bridging the digital divide and improving the quality of life for America's lower income communities here in South Florida and beyond.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade began in 1946 with humble roots as a single building and site for boys. Today, this organization has five locations serving 10,000 boys and girls year-round. Our Clubs play an integral role in ensuring children have an enriching and safe place to go so that when the school bell rings, the Clubs are in. Our after-school and summer programs offer academic, social and fitness enrichment opportunities. We work hand in hand with schools to ensure that youth have a chance at reaching the American Dream.

Comcast's Internet Essentials program offers families of students who participate in the National School Lunch Program eligibility for discounted Internet service at home. Too many children are at a disadvantage educationally, professionally and personally by being on the wrong side of the digital divide. Internet Essentials demonstrate Comcast's commitment to eradicating these obstacles to 21st century success.

Our Clubs have dived head first to connecting as many families as possible to Internet Essentials. In Miami, approximately 26,000 households are already enrolled. There are still thousands more that are eligible, and Boys & Girls Club of Miami-Dade has no intention of slowing down in promotion of the effort thanks to the support from Comcast. We are truly witnessing positive changes thanks to Internet Essentials. In fact, Miami recently received Comcast's "Gold Medal Recognition" for success in driving broadband adoption. Thanks to this recognition we are developing an Internet

Essentials learning Zone, where we will provide free trainings on best practices for utilizing technology.

In 2012, we had the privilege of participating in Comcast Cares Day in which Comcast employees turned out en masse to volunteer their time to help assist in refurbishing our local centers. Comcast employees also participated in outreach programs to help our kids. It was an incredible day that sent an inspiring message to our youth about responsibility and giving back. I firmly believe that Comcast offers hope, education and opportunity, which in turn helps organizations like ours grow and prosper.

I urge you to approve the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable, as it has the power to bring technology and positive change to many more communities across the nation.

Sincerely,

/s/ Alex Rodriguez-Roig

Alex Rodriguez-Roig

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

Thank you for accepting my comments which follow below and are made in suppont of Comcast Corporation and Time Wamer Cable. Please forward them to the individuals who will ultimately recommend approval of the transaction.

I have served as President of Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland (BGCO) since 1992, and I have had the opponunity to work closely with Comcast on technology education and digital skills for deserving children and teens for many years. In today's economy, a young woman or young man who lacks Internet competence simply cannot compete. Comcast has been at the forefront, lending with viable solutions to this issue for years.

I am sure many Americans have written to you to praise the company's Internet Essentials program which has connected over 350,000 American families to the Internet. In California, the program has already served more than 11% of eligible families (those with children eligible for the federal school lunch program). BGCO has helped many of these families to enroll and take advantage of home Internet access for the first time in their lives.

Comcast's commitment to broadening high speed access to the Internet goes well beyond Internet Essentials. Earlier this year, we honored 20 young men and young women who successfully completed the Comcast Digital Connectors Program. This breakthrough effort certifies teenagers as lnternet educators—they learn digital life skills and then put those skills to use teaching senior citizens how to use the Internet themselves, a powerful two-fer which, in turn, gives youth a powerful leg up and helps seniors live richer more connected lives. Thanks to Comcast's support, each successful digital connector receives a netbook laptop computer and a digital video camera upon completion of the curriculum. All told, the Digital Connectors program will graduate 126 students across Northern California this year.

Further, the company leads by example: I'm told that people of color hold a quarter of its management positions, and that forty percent are women.

In contracting, over $1.25 billion a year is spent doing business with diversity suppliers. These are powerful commitments to true meaningful equality, and to economic opportunity.

Finally, young people in particular are concerned about “Net Neutrality” and ensuring that the Internet remains Open to all users; points of view; and communities. l have seen reports that Comcast is the only Internet Service Provider that is still bound to the FCC's Open Internet rules, and that the expansion into Time Warner Cable cities will bring Net Neutrality to those communities.

l support the expansion of these groundbreaking efforts and pro-diversity policies to new areas via the Comcast Time Warner Cable agreement.

Sincerely,

Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I write to express my support for the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. As the President and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley ("BGCTNV"), I have seen first-hand Comcast's unparalleled commitment to its communities, and it has been a crucial partner in helping BGCTNV to serve more than 6,300 at-risk boys and girls in the Tennessee Valley.

Comcast has assisted BGCTNV in reaching potential Club members and educating the public about what we do by running a tremendous number of public service announcements over the air. For five years running, Comcast has supported BGCTNV's Club Tech program enabling approximately 300 Club members daily to improve their skills in math, science, and other academic subjects using educational software and to develop the technology skills necessary to succeed in school and the job market. Comcast has also welcomed BGCTNV as a valued partner in its Internet Essentials initiative to connect low-income children to the Internet-a mission critical to our Club who believes that all of our members, no matter their economic circumstances, deserve access to the best technology available to position themselves for academic success and a lifetime of opportunities.

Comcast has also chosen one of BGCTNV's Clubs in each of the last five years as a beneficiary of Comcast Cares Day-local Comcast employees have volunteered to pitch in and get their hands dirty by cleaning and beautifying these Clubs, supporting our goal of providing our members a safe and caring environment in which to learn and grow.

In short, BGCTNV's extensive partnership with Comcast has enabled us to have a real, positive effect on the academic, vocational, and character development of over six thousand children each year. I encourage you to approve the Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction, so that Comcast can make the same impact in additional communities throughout the country.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

Please accept this correspondence in support of the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction. As executive director of the Bucks County Community College (BCCC) Foundation in Pennsylvania, our experience with Comcast has been multifold but most notable are its broadband and video services which have been a game-changer in higher education. The growth in interest for BCCC’s online education programs has been possible thanks to comprehensive and high-speed broadband service from Comcast. We host 250 eLearning and Hybrid courses taught by the same professors who teach face-to-face classes. The BCCC virtual learning experience offers 16 programs of study and two certificates that can all be completed online. Comcast Internet speeds have increased yearly, allowing our students to access course work, interact with their professors and fellow students, and complete quizzes and tests at an amazingly swift pace from any remote site. This option, to obtain credits and certifications online, has been essential for students who juggle jobs along with their studies, as well as working adults whose schedules may not permit time to drive to and from campuses to fulfill professional education requirements.

In respect to its charitable and community work, I’ve been made aware that Comcast has donated to more than 1,000 nonprofits across the U.S. At BCCC, Comcast employees have served on our board of directors, volunteered their time and donated thousands of dollars to our events and fund-raising activities. The company routinely sponsors our community breakfasts during which we highlight staff and faculty achievements. Comcast also supports our cause through publicity, hosting our faculty on talk shows, and giving myself and others at BCCC a public forum through Comcast Newsmakers broadcasts. These widely-seen videos are a perfect opportunity to share college news and academic insight and expertise to a wide audience. Also, students who have an interest in broadcasting have been able to tape segments and have them air weekly on TV and the Internet, thanks to Comcast.

High school seniors who work hard can earn a Comcast scholarship to attend BCCC and other community and four-year colleges. According to the most recent numbers, Comcast has helped about 20,000 students seeking higher education. And Comcast has a strong hand in making sure that secondary students who want to find scholarships and apply to colleges using the Internet

can do so even if their families can’t afford a computer and a digital connection. Comcast’s Internet Essentials gets these families Internet service for a low monthly rate and a computer for about $150. The company also offers the digital training they need to make the most of these new resources. Tens of thousands of Pennsylvania families are already taking advantage of this service.

Comcast has consistently been a strong partner to educational institutions, like BCCC. Its products are cutting edge and lend a distinct digital advantage to users. The company’s commitment to the less fortunate is evident in every community it serves. I hope the Commission will consider the potential for furthering this kind of community engagement and support by approving the transaction.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

On behalf of the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire (BIA), I write this letter in support of the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. The BIA is New Hampshire’s statewide chamber of commerce and leading business advocate. We represent over 400 leading businesses in a variety of industries, with over 86,000 employees across the Granite State. I can personally attest to Comcast’s status as an important member of New Hampshire’s business community and its economy.

Comcast is committed to creating and supporting good job opportunities in New Hampshire. The company employs over 1,700 full-time workers across the state, spends over $125 million in payroll and close to $15 million annually in health-care benefits. Comcast generates over $26 million annually in state and local tax revenue. It also owns and operates 39 properties in New Hampshire. Most recently, Comcast announced plans to open a 127,000 square foot, 600- representative-strong state-of-the-art customer support center in Hudson, New Hampshire. This new facility will create strong economic growth for New Hampshire, and represents Comcast’s continued commitment to investing in tools and technologies that will help drive New Hampshire’s economy going forward.

Beyond Comcast’s support of good employment positions in New Hampshire, the company has also been an important corporate partner to the BIA. Comcast frequently features our members and partners on Comcast Newsmakers, at the company’s own expense, to let the public know what we are doing to stimulate economic growth and attract new businesses to New Hampshire.

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons that BIA supports the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable is that it will create competition and encourage investment in innovation. If Comcast were to join resources with Time Warner Cable, it will be a stronger competitor for all sizes of businesses. By offering higher-quality products and services at more affordable prices, Comcast will motivate other telecommunications companies to invest more in their own technology and develop innovative services in order to keep up. The result of this free-market process will be a larger variety of affordable and innovative products and services for our consumers and businesses to choose from, which will increase efficiency and foster economic growth.

The FCC should approve the proposed transaction, and let Comcast drive free-market competition.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

On behalf of the California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, I would like to express our support for the merger between Time Warner Cable and Comcast. We are currently located in a Time Warner Cable region, and we are interested in the benefits that this merger could have for our members.

Our organization was founded in 1978 out of a need for representation of the growing Hispanic business presence in our state. Currently, we represent over 700,000 Hispanic business owners in California and our stated mission is "advocacy, empowerment, and education for California's Hispanic businesses."

If this merger is successful, we predict it will offer many advantages for our members. The entry of Comcast's business offerings into more markets where our members operate will create new competition for telecom services. As a result, our members will have more choices of providers for high-end services, and our larger business members with locations in both the northern and southern parts of the state will be able to better integrate their operations, thus increasing efficiency and lowering operating costs. We also understand that Comcast has undertaken great efforts to increase its dealing with minority-owned vendors. As you can imagine, this is welcome news for thousands of California businesses that have not had an opportunity to work with Comcast within its existing service areas.

Our goal is to make sure our members have access to an improving and hospitable climate for business. We believe this merger creates just that, and we support it.

Sincerely,

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

On behalf of the Cape Cod Community Media Center, I am writing to share my experience working with Comcast and to express my support for the Comcast-Time Warner Cable transaction.

The Cape Cod Community Media Center is a public access cable television resource center that serves as a community communication vehicle for thousands of individuals, groups, and organizations on Cape Cod. For decades I have worked with Comcast to amplify the voice of our programming to reach the broader Cape Cod community. As a result of our partnership, the Media Center received the Overall Excellence Award for community programming and was chosen the top Access Center in the country by the Alliance for Community Media.

Often times large companies' community investment can be seen as half-hearted “window dressing”. That is absolutely not the case with Comcast. Comcast is a true and genuine community leader. Beyond our partnership, Comcast has shown it is dedicated to bettering our community. We have worked on a number of projects collaboratively such as serving the homeless community by providing assistance for over twelve years of the NOAH Shelter Telethons and numerous March of Dimes, Rotary Auctions and major community events..

Comcast is a valued community partner and is always willing to work on a local level for positive community benefit. For these reasons, I hope that you promptly approve the proposed transaction.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As the president of the Cathedral City Chamber of Commerce, I write to express our support for the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

Since 1937, the Chamber has served our area's business community. Our organization provides leadership and direction for the community, serving as a source of information and advocacy in the progress of economic development. We work to expand economic opportunities for business owners, residents, and even visitors by sharing the many attributes of the community and enhancing the quality of life for all citizens. We work in partnership with federal, state, and local government ensuring that our members are fairly represented.

Our goal is to build the economy into a stable environment for our businesses and our citizens. However, this is still very much a work in progress. Many of our citizens are low income, and our unemployment rate is around 10%. It is our belief that Comcast could help to boost our efforts to get our city back on solid ground.

The entrance of Comcast into Cathedral City could make our area a more attractive area for new ventures to set up shop. Beyond their business class services, Comcast also has a variety of community-based programs that would benefit our citizens. Their Internet Essentials program not only offers affordable internet to low-income families; it also provides discounted computers and free digital literacy training. Our citizens will be able to search for new jobs and they will have the necessary skills to acquire a quality job. Comcast also has many after school programs that integrate digital literacy and technology training into our education system, so that our students leave school prepared for a career. Comcast's entrance into our City would not only benefit our businesses but also improve life for everyone in the community.

Comcast will not solve all of our problems, but together Comcast and our community could work together to build our economy into a more healthy environment for everyone. I ask that you please consider our city and how this merger could benefit us.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

My name is Jeri Barr and I have served as the CEO of The Center for Family Resources (CFR), a comprehensive human service organization, in Marietta, Georgia, since 1984. Our motto, "Empowering Families to Help Themselves", is exemplified by the Comcast Corporation, which is one of our key supporters and community partners.

I believe that the FCC should approve the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

Here at The Center for Family Resources, our clients need basic necessities, such as food, shelter and heat, to stabilize their families, but they also need tools to feel empowered and secure their futures. The Internet is a vital instrument for change and growth that is linking Georgia's most vulnerable to jobs, education and health care.

I can tell you firsthand that Comcast is making a difference for our schools and schoolchildren in Marietta. In fact, Marietta Middle School and Marietta High School were among the 156 focus schools to receive Internet Essentials, a comprehensive broadband adoption program spearheaded by Comcast.

The Center for Family Resources supported these efforts, and is encouraging the families we serve to embrace Internet Essentials and its provision of home-based broadband at a deeply reduced cost. Comcast is actively spreading the word in our community too. The company sent representatives to speak to students and their parents about Internet Essentials when my local Kiwanis Club sponsored a Technology Lab at the Marietta High School and Comcast was also there last October when the CFR was educating and registering low-income families for its Thanks for Giving food drive.

In Georgia, I understand that more than 21,000 families have benefitted and nearly 12 percent of all eligible households in the state are participating. Given that Internet Essentials is a relatively new program, these promising numbers suggest that the digital divide will continue to narrow. Comcast has also recently announced that it is extending the program indefinitely, and has committed to extending it to any newly acquired areas which include communities like mine which is partially served by Charter Communications.

We stand behind initiatives like Internet Essentials and we are proud to call Comcast our longtime partner. The company leads by example, and is one of our valued supporters. Michael Wall, a Comcast employee, is a current board member who lends governance and expertise but he also is a dedicated volunteer and loves to give back to his community through CFR.

I feel confident that if Comcast and Time Warner Cable's proposed transaction is approved, more impactful collaborations, including innovative programming and services, will be the direct result. The FCC should move forward to approve the great opportunity before it.

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

As Executive Director of Center for Multicultural Cooperation (CMC), I am writing in support of the Comcast and Time Warner transaction. Comcast is one of the most outstanding corporate citizens in my community of Fresno and Sacramento and I believe its request deserves your approval.

Center for Multicultural Cooperation was founded to educate, engage and empower underserved and underprivileged youth with multimedia and digital skills to succeed. Comcast is a primary supporter of our successful multimedia programs, which each year provides young people with digital learnings and leadership training. We have graduated hundreds of future young leaders from our programs in Fresno and Sacramento since our founding, and the leadership of sponsors such as Comcast has helped us achieve this goal. With the support of Comcast's Internet Essential program, we are also connecting our youth, their families and low-income communities to the internet and digital literacy trainings.

We are a proud partner of Comcast and know first-hand their commitment to our youth and communities. It's for these reasons that we write to ask you to support the Comcast and Time Wamer transaction.

I thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts on this matter, and I encourage you to approve Comcast's request.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I am the Chief Executive Officer and Head Start Director of Centro de la Familia de Utah and have had substantial experience in offering the Head Start program to minority children in Utah. I am writing to request that the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction be approved. The transaction offers more communities the opportunity to benefit from the economic and community partnerships we have forged with Comcast.

Comcast provides several valuable services to the Hispanic community such as programming provided by minority-owned networks, several Spanish language channels including the BabyFirst Americas network, which is well-known for educational shows that target young children and their parents to ease the transition to English fluency. Comcast is committed to employing minorities at all of its locations in Utah, and strives to be an inclusive employer nationwide.

The company's Internet Essentials program offers minority children and families in need the opportunity to learn and develop through internet access. This program is available to qualified households that include children eligible for government subsidized school meals. As of last year, more than 6,000 families in Utah had signed up for Internet Essentials. For about $10 a month, with no other fees, they get access to the Internet. They can also buy a computer for a low price, and the company includes free computer and Internet training for the children, parents and others in the home.

We have also been pleased to partner with Comcast in the implementation of the company's Digital Connectors program, which provides high potential students with digital literacy training and encourages them to share their knowledge with the community.

I think you will find that this request is well substantiated by the contributions Comcast makes in our region. I hope the matter of the proposed Comcast Time Warner transaction will receive your full support.

Yours truly,

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

As the Commission considers the public interest regarding the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable, I ask that the Commission consider this letter in support of the proposed merger. As Chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, I offer my support of the proposed merger based on my experience with Comcast in our community as a driver of economic growth and as an active corporate citizen.

One of my objectives, as Chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, is to attract investment in the County which will fuel job creation and economic growth. In support of this objective, Comcast has made significant infrastructure investments to ensure that Gwinnett businesses have the connectivity they need to compete in a worldwide marketplace and that our residents have access to state of the art broadband services in their homes. This technology infrastructure is a critical element of the County's economic development strategy. Comcast has also strengthened our economy by partnering with Gwinnett-based and Georgia-based businesses. As an example, Comcast purchases modems and other broadband equipment from ARRIS, a technology company based in Suwanee, Georgia within Gwinnett County, to support the enhancement of Comcast's high speed network. As far as Comcast's overall investment in Georgia, my understanding is that Comcast spent more than $700 million in Georgia last year. Comcast's investment in infrastructure and partnerships with our local businesses helps support job creation and economic growth with Gwinnett County and Georgia.

As an active corporate citizen in Gwinnett County, Comcast has partnered with both Gwinnett County and the Gwinnett County School District to ensure that our workforce has the digital literacy skills to support a technology based economy. With more than thirteen percent of our county's residents below the poverty rate, we have a number of students whose families cannot afford to have a computer or pay for internet service. The School District works with Comcast to share information on the company's Internet Essentials program, which supplies an Internet connection and a computer at a very low cost to low-income families. In support of this partnership, Gwinnett County compliments this technology access for low-income families with free basic and intermediate computer classes at the County's libraries and human services centers.

Comcast's role as an active corporate citizen in Gwinnett County does not end with helping low-income families obtain access to technology. Comcast is also committed to volunteerism in Gwinnett and its communities. This past April, I was proud to join a group of fifty Comcast employees, family members and other volunteers at the Rainbow Village in Gwinnett County. The efforts of these volunteers at the Rainbow Village to landscape the grounds helped create a more positive environment for Gwinnett residents experiencing difficult times and needing the services this transitional housing facility for homeless families.

Comcast has brought needed digital services to business and school children that help Gwinnett keep pace with other regions. I look forward to the company expanding its footprint in Gwinnett and anticipate similar positive impacts in other markets where Comcast is able to offer its broadband and video products. In making your decision on this merger and the public interest, I hope that the Commission will consider this letter of support and the positive impact that Comcast has made and will continue to make in Gwinnett County and other regions.

Sincerely,

/s/ Charlotte J. Nash

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

After ten years working in the corporate world, I made the decision to transition into community service, satisfying my dream of providing help to people in need. For the past 25 years I have been dedicated to finding the most effective ways to reach and help those people through Change Happens!. Change Happens! (formerly Families Under Urban & Social Attack) is a non-profit community-based organization in Houston, Texas that provides a variety of programs and services aimed at empowering adults and at risk youths to help themselves when faced with challenges.

Our entire organization is founded on the belief that given the right information and opportunities, people in need will be able to help themselves with the challenges they encounter. The first essential step though is being able to access this information and these opportunities, which is where Comcast comes in and why l believe the transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable will be beneficial.

Comcast has provided the families of the city of Houston and the state of Texas at large with a variety of useful services. Comcast's Internet Essentials program, which offers affordable broadband service, bas allowed low-income families in need to access information necessary to better their lives. Comcast bas said that it will expand the Internet Essentials program to new areas acquired in the transaction with Time Warner Cable, thus helping more families in need. Further, Comcast's has shown a dedication to diversity and inclusion in its hiring practices that sets a positive example for other companies and our communities.

Since its beginning in 1989, our organization has grown from providing one program to eighteen programs, including HIV Prevention, homeless supportive services, risky behavior (such as drug and alcohol abuse) and teen pregnancy prevention programs, workforce development programs and after school programs. These are issues that face people everywhere across the United States, and the solution is information. The power of information, well communicated and far reaching is undeniable. The services provided by Comcast allow us and other community-based organizations like us to share information with the people who need it the most.

Combining these two companies will allow even more people across the United States to benefit the way that our community has, including Houston's sister-city Dallas (currently serviced by Time Warner Cable). I hope the FCC will act in favor of the transaction.

To whom it may concern:

I am Chairman of the Chicago City Council Latino Caucus, as well as a Chicago City alderman since 2003. I have spent my career serving families and children, including working as the executive director for the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago as well as executive director for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago. In my roles I have had multiple interactions with Comcast and I have found the company to be a stalwart supporter of Chicago area organizations and initiatives and the missions we serve.

The proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable promises to extend Comcast’s service-minded philosophy to more communities, and for that reason, I respectfully request that the Commission approve the proposed transaction.

Allow me to elaborate on the kinds of activities I have personally witnessed Comcast taking part in, here in Chicago.

Last year, Comcast lent the city one of its own top professionals to work on our Plan for Economic Growth and Jobs. Christopher Nelson, Comcast’s manager of government and regulatory affairs for the Greater Chicago Region, worked for us fulltime as part of our new Fellows program, whereby companies in the area lent us professionals with economic expertise for as long as six months.

As Chairman of the Latino Caucus, I am in regular contact with our Hispanic entrepreneurs and business owners. Comcast devotes a significant portion of its budget on contracts with Hispanic suppliers. And its offerings in Hispanic programming are extensive. Comcast has more than 60 Spanish language networks and offers Xfinity Latino, which carries all the popular Hispanic channels. As far as entertainment goes, you can’t do much better than Hispanic Video on Demand, with films, TV, music and children’s programming. In fact, Comcast’s programming for children in Hispanic communities is very popular with families.

I have devoted myself to improving opportunities for our children and here is where Comcast really shines. Its employees spend hours mentoring high school students. During my time at the Boys and Girls Club, Comcast stepped up with donations of computers, software and digital skills training, and its staff served on the organization’s board, among other contributions. And Comcast worked hard to get the word out a few years ago, when it started the Internet Essentials program for low-income families. In fact, last fall, more families in the Chicago area had enrolled in Internet Essentials than any other city in the nation. That means that more of our children now have computers and Internet in their homes. They are better connected to their schools and teachers, and their parents are able to get online and follow their children’s progress as well as apply for jobs.

Comcast has also been a generous sponsor of many of the City’s community events and cultural celebrations and programs. This summer, Comcast was a sponsor for the Rahm’s Readers Summer Learning Challenge at Chicago Public Library’s Douglass Branch, in which children are trying to set records for the number of books read and time spent reading. Comcast is a backer of the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival in Logan Square, which is located in the ward I represent.

This kind of collaboration between community and corporate citizens is a model for all regions. I know that wherever Comcast services are offered, there too are benefits for children, families, schools and businesses. My hope is that more communities have the opportunity to experience what we here in Chicago have experienced. I anticipate and welcome the Commission’s support of the proposed transaction.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As a representative of the people of Tallahassee, Florida, and a native Floridian whose investment in the growth and advancement of our state is deep and wide-reaching, I am writing to express my support for the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction.

Comcast is a strong corporate citizen that currently serves Tallahassee and is invested in the health and welfare of many other Florida communities. The company’s dedication to key infrastructure investments is ensuring an equitable, technology-ready future for the people of my community and our state. Comcast and NBCUniversal spent more than $2.6 billion in our state last year and employed about 17,000 of our residents. I believe the proposed transaction will build on this investment, helping cities like Tallahassee better compete in a global, tech-driven economy.

Comcast and NBCUniversal are true community partners supporting sustainability projects, student scholarships, training, volunteer hours, and other programs. The company's Spanish-speaking Telemundo network is headquartered in our state. The NBCUniversal-Comcast merger allowed a deepening of Comcast’s across-the-board commitment to diverse, accessible programming. The multilingual, multicultural population of our city and state stands to benefit. The proposed transaction will open this opportunity to other diverse areas and populations.

Additionally, Comcast is committed to ensuring that our students have the equipment and access necessary to succeed in the information age. The company’s efforts – including instrumental support for Tallahassee’s Digital Harmony Initiative – have not gone unnoticed in our city. With its support, we have provided 200-plus desktop computers and modems to the families of incoming sixth graders at Nims Middle School. And through the Internet Essentials program, many other underserved members of our community are able to access low-cost, high-speed Internet services, digital literacy training, and ongoing support and outreach to close the digital divide.

The FCC should expeditiously approve Comcast’s transaction proposal, which I believe will benefit more communities across Florida and elsewhere.

Dear Chairman Wheeler and Commissioners:

I write to share my thoughts and perspective on the pending merger between Time Warner Cable and Comcast. I am the City Manager of Fresno, California, which Is the 5"' largest city in California. Comcast has been a valuable community partner who has contributed to and invested in our City.

Improving critical infrastructure is one of the highest priorities of our city. The proposed merger is particularly interesting to me because Comcast has pledged to invest millions of dollars to improve existing broadband networks in the areas it acquires. Fortunately, we are a Comcast service area and the City of Fresno has been well-served by the quality of Comcast's broadband network. Our residents have access to some of the state's fastest speeds – most homes can reach 150 Mbps to 505 Mbps. Our businesses have the ability to purchase services ranging from 1-10 Gbps, giving us a leg up on other cities in the region in terms of attracting and retaining businesses.

Over the years, we have enjoyed a positive working relationship with Comcast. They have been a partner in expanding its broadband footprint in downtown Fresno, where we are in the midst of implementing a comprehensive revitalization plan. In addition, Comcast's Internet Essentials program has enhanced our locally generated content through the “Project Open Voice” public access pilot program. Expanded broadband adoption and increased digital literacy in our workforce will bolster the overall economy. A technology-educated workforce is critical as we compete to attract and retain innovative new businesses to our city. It also gives us the opportunity to retain more of our young talent from our local universities, including California State University Fresno. Earlier this, CSU Fresno's present, Joseph Castro announced a tablet program for university professors and students. Our local school districts have also begun tablet programs. Without the Comcast network, these tablet programs would not be possible.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

The board, staff and parents of Clayton Early Learning have had the privilege of partnering with Comcast over the last three years for the benefit of the children and families we serve. For more than a century, Clayton Early Learning has provided a better start for vulnerable children in our community. Today, we serve as a vibrant place of learning for children ages 0-5 striving to ensure all children receive the highest quality early childhood experience and are well prepared to start kindergarten ready. The support of Comcast has been invaluable in helping Clayton Early Learning carry out our mission every day to help all children reach their full potential.

We began building our partnership with Comcast in 2012 as Clayton Early Learning was selected as one of the beneficiary sites for Comcast Cares Day. Since then, we have been fortunate to have Comcast return for Comcast Cares Day in 2013 and 2014. Over these last three Comcast days of service, Comcast has brought the people-power of over 1,000 of its employees to our historic campus and worked side-by-side with us to improve and beautify our campus in ways that we would never have been able to do on our own.

Some of the amazing projects the Comcast volunteers have enthusiastically and energetically completed at Clayton Early Learning include the building of two large-scale gardens on our campus that serve as outdoor classrooms and discovery areas for our students. This provides the opportunity for the children in our programs to grow fresh fruits and vegetables and learn about healthy eating and nutrition. Clayton is in a food desert, which makes it even more imperative for our children and their families to have access to fresh food that provides a sustainable and life-long benefit.

The ongoing support of Comcast continued these past few years as Comcast sponsored our annual Moonbeam Harvest event in September. Moonbeam Harvest is a one-of-a-kind evening where the who's who of Denver's top chefs come together to prepare amazingly creative food utilizing the fresh produce grown in the Clayton gardens built by Comcast. Over 700 guests including corporate leaders,

government officials, educators and foodies attended to support quality early childhood education for those who need it most.

Clayton Early Learning was also extremely fortunate to have Sarah Gustashaw, Regional Vice President of Finance for Comcast Cable, join our board of trustees in 2013. Sarah's expertise and wisdom has significantly increased the depth of knowledge and breadth of experience that has been a valuable addition to the board. We truly appreciate Sarah's time and dedication.

We also value opportunities to work with Comcast to help the families we serve learn about the Internet Essentials program, which enables low-income families to afford computers and Internet service in their own homes. This program is a great help in empowering families to connect with a variety of resources that will help their children thrive and succeed.

Quality early education changes lives, and we look forward to making a lasting impact alongside the Comcast family that continues well into the future. On behalf of the children and families we serve, we are pleased to express our appreciation for Comcast's partnership and commitment, and we believe the Comcast-Time Warner Cable transaction deserves consideration, as it would enable more communities and more families to benefit from the company's focus on investing in communities. By helping to ensure that all children are prepared for success in school through highly effective early childhood education, Clayton and our partners are investing in the strength of our whole community, and we wish the same opportunities for others who strive to help families succeed as well.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As the President and CEO of the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership (CVEP), I write to support of the merger between Comcast and Time Warner.

CVEP is a regional economic development organization devoted to attracting, retaining, and expanding business while improving the quality of the workforce. It is our hope that if Comcast enters the Coachella Valley our businesses will benefit. Comcast has indicated its intent to upgrade existing networks here to deliver faster Internet speeds, including enterprise services that can reach up to 10 Gbps data connections.

We see several positive economic impacts for local businesses. In general, Comcast’s entry will increase competition for communications services for all businesses in our region no matter what their specific needs, which has great potential for lowering costs and increasing quality. The enhanced services, like hosted voice and cloud collaboration applications, that Comcast provides in other markets will enable businesses to be more efficient and will free smaller outfits from the burdens of large capital outlays for their own phone systems and large file storage facilities. And by offering service throughout the major urban centers of California, Comcast will offer a platform for larger-scale enterprises with locations dotting the state – or elsewhere in the region – to connect on a single network for voice, email, data and other communications needs.

While many municipalities are flirting with the decision to risk taxpayer dollars or leverage public financing to build an infrastructure of this magnitude on their own, Comcast plans to do it with private capital, assuming all of the risk and owning responsibility for future upgrades.

What Comcast proposes makes sense from a local business development perspective. CVEP hopes that the Commission agrees and will permit the deal to move forward.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As President of the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce in Columbus, Nebraska, I write this letter in support of the application to merge Comcast and Time-Warner Cable.

The Chamber of Commerce has for many years explained to businesses why they should move to our community. Just a few weeks ago, as we prepared for our Columbus Days festival, I wrote in the Columbus Telegram, "We know that the first impression is an important one as visitors might be thinking about making Columbus home." Today, a visitor's second impression is likely when they ask for your Wi-Fi password.

That is part of the reason I am writing to urge to approve the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger. I understand that Comcast intends to bring attractive broadband speeds to Columbus and other towns currently served by Time Warner Cable. Columbus is no longer competing only with other towns in Nebraska or even the surrounding states; our businesses compete on a truly global scale and our community competes nation-wide for talent. Infrastructure, including broadband and business grade internet connections - is critically important to our ability to compete. Better speeds and better options mean better opportunities for Columbus businesses.

As a community business leader, I take great pride in ensuring our local businesses not only "give back" to the community but are also an integral part of the community. We have a vibrant volunteer corps at Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce. I understand Comcast is similarly involved in the communities that it serves. We would welcome Comcast to our business community and are hopeful you will approve the proposed merger.

Re: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I write to share my perspective on the merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

Since 2012 I have served as Chairman of Comcast’s Hispanic Advisory Council (HAC), overseeing Comcast’s efforts to increase diversity and inclusion within the company. As someone who has assisted various academic institutions and corporations as well as both the Clinton and Obama Administrations in a number of diversity efforts, I have been favorably impressed by Comcast’s execution of its plans to foster a more inclusive workplace and to do business with a growing number of minority-owned suppliers and financial institutions.

Since the merger with NBCUniversal, Comcast has honored and exceeded the promises it made to promote diversity within the combined company. The Joint Diversity Council, which includes the HAC and several other focused advisory councils, has met multiple times each year with Comcast executive leadership. From those meetings, it is clear to me that this is a company that is doing more than paying lip service to the civil rights community – Comcast’s leadership listens to our recommendations and takes the necessary steps to effect change in the company’s hiring and vendor selection processes.

The results to date have been impressive. Comcast increased the number of people of color at the vice president level and above by 32% since the merger with NBCUniversal. Last year alone Comcast spent over $1.3 billion with diverse suppliers, an increase of 44% since 2010. And today women and people of color comprise nearly 60% of its workforce.

Of course there’s more work to be done. But I believe that Comcast is already on solid footing when it comes to workforce and supplier diversity, and I believe that expanding these efforts into current Time Warner Cable markets will be a net positive for the nation.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

Condlsta Networks is a minority-owned company based In Miami which has had a longstanding business relationship with Comcast. Our core business is as an aggregator of Spanish-language TV from countries such as Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, Spain, and Colombia. We seek to increase distribution for these channels by partnering them with cable and satellite distributors in the United States. Condlsta currently works with [sixteen] different Spanish-language networks owned by different companies from a variety of countries. Our roster of channels allows Condisla lo reach out lo almost every U.S. Hispanic regardless of his or her country of origin or length of time in the United States.

We supported the Comcast-NBCUniversal transaction in 2010 based on our prior positive experience with Comcast. We began working with Comcast in 2002, during its acquisition of AT&T Broadband, which operated in some of the largest Hispanic markets in the U.S (including Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Denver and Miami). We found that AT&T Broadband had no overall strategy on how to serve Hispanics in those markets and there was no corporate support for Spanish-language programming. As a result, our networks did little business with AT&T Broadband. That changed under Comcast. Since Comcast acquired systems and began operations in these key Hispanic markets, Comcast employees at all levels - whether at the local systems, regions, or corporate offices - have worked with our company to expand the number of Independent, Spanish-language networks available on its systems.

Condista also supported the NBCUniversal transaction because we believed Comcast would continue its well-established support for independent programming after the transaction. And Comcast has, in fact, done so. Of the [sixteen] networks we represent, Comcast carries nine of them and, collectively, has increased carriage of our programming to hundreds of thousands of additional viewers since the close of the NBCUniversal transaction.

Comcast has also been willing to take risks with us on programming. Although not all of these ventures have worked out, this type of support encourages the rest of the industry to consider similar new launches and give worthy independent programmers a chance.

Our experience as a programmer with Comcast is not unique. Comcast carries a large number of Spanish-language channels, including ones offered by large multi-national media companies, as well as many start-up and independent networks. Besides helping independent, minority-owned networks like ours, Comcast is also benefitting the U.S. Hispanic community as a whole - offering more Spanish-language content, packaging options, and services geared to this audience than any other distributor.

We fully expect Comcast's strong support for diverse and independent programming to continue after the merger with Time Warner Cable, just like it did after the NBCUniversal transaction. For these reasons, we also support this latest transaction and believe that the Commission should promptly approve it.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

I am writing on behalf of Congreso, a nationally recognized multi-service organization based in Philadelphia, to express our support for the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

Congreso is Philadelphia's largest nonprofit agency providing expert services to the Latino community. Our goal is to promote economic self-sufficiency to ensure that our most vulnerable populations have the educational credentials and workforce skills to compete in a global economy. With Comcast's headquarters in Philadelphia, Congreso has been able to see firsthand all of the benefits that Comcast has to offer, including investment in and promotion of diversity and inclusion programs designed to promote workforce development and job growth.

As you might expect, Comcast is an important part of the community here in Philly, but their efforts to invest locally in the workforce are as strong in every other community they serve as they are here. For current employees, the company offers numerous leadership development and training programs, including several geared toward minorities and women. Comcast has also strived to make its recruitment pool more inclusive, working with the national "Hiring Our Heroes" initiative to identify and hire more than 2,000 veterans.

Comcast has also focused resources on preparing young people for the workplace. The company participates in several teen mentorship programs, including a multi-city partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, that show our young people the ropes

and give them the invaluable experience of being around a place of business and having a role model to emulate.

Digital skill building has been a particularly important component to Comcast's workforce development efforts. Comcast programs such as Digital Connectors and Internet Essentials have helped not only to level the playing field for our children at school but also for their families. For students, these programs open doors and create opportunities for jobs later in life. Parents and guardians are able to utilize the digital literacy training classes to become more competitive in the job market Internet Essentials has helped to bridge the digital divide in Comcast's existing markets and, if the proposed transaction is successful, will reach new markets.

I hope that you take my letter into consideration when making a decision on the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

On behalf of the Cooper's Ferry Partnership in Camden, New Jersey, I submit this letter to the FCC in support of the proposed Time Warner Cable/Comcast transaction. Comcast has been an effective community and business partner to our organization for many years, and I am confident that this transaction will encourage more companies nationwide to become better community sponsors.

Cooper's Ferry Partnership is facilitating the revival of the City of Camden by creating an environment where people choose to live, work, and invest. We develop visionary, long-range plans for the redevelopment of Camden's waterfronts and work with private sector, government and community partners to make these plans a reality. We currently are executing the Downtown Camden Strategic Development Plan, developed in 2002, which established the blueprint for anchor institution-led development in Camden. Since that time, we and our private and public partners have been implementing this strategy through a targeted five-part model: clean and safe streets; vibrant commercial corridors; stable neighborhoods; vibrant arts and culture; and human capital programming that build capacity among Camden's residents.

Over recent years, we have sought to expand our partnerships with high-scale tech companies that can provide leadership and collaboration to guide us in our efforts. We secured a connection with Comcast in 2013, when Bill Kettleson, Comcast's Freedom Region RVP of Government & Community Affairs, joined our Board of Directors. With Mr. Kettleson came the backing and support of the Comcast Corporation at large. Since he joined the board, Comcast has quickly become a leading corporate sponsor, having made significant cash & in-kind commitments to support our organization and our city.

Since our initial connection in 2013, Comcast has also proven to be a worthy associate in our efforts to connect city residents with free, outdoor entertainment events. Comcast connected us with its Spotlight business to bring Cartoon Network's "Move It Movement" campaign to the Camden Waterfront in 2013 and did so again in 2014. This event invites local kids ages 6-14 to come enjoy the waterfront and participate in various sports and athletic activities with their families. Comcast is also a major sponsor of our Fourth of July "Freedom Festival," which attracts people all over the region to our waterfront for fun, food, games and music. Connecting the waterfront with popular entertainment options is a must for future development projects, and I am extremely thankful to now have Comcast as a reliable event planner and organizer.

The entire City of Camden will soon benefit from a new series of PSAs aimed at improving the image of the city and promoting local events. Comcast recently agreed to use its technological dexterity to create a whole new ad campaign to increase continued visibility of Camden's offerings. With Comcast's creativity and ingenuity, we are confident that this campaign will do Camden justice and will play a major role in reshaping Camden's image across the U.S.

In the last decade, Camden has mostly been known for its struggles with unemployment and crime. As we work to overcome these obstacles, it is helpful to have a strong corporate citizen by our side. I support Comcast in each of its endeavors, and encourage the FCC to work quickly to approve the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

One factor in the FCC's consideration of the Comcast/Time Warner merger is whether Comcast has been a good corporate citizen. It is in that regard that I write, and do so positively.

For instance, in October 2012, during Hurricane Sandy, District residents most needed to stay in touch with family, co-workers, and news outlets. Comcast responded by opening Xfinity hotspots around our area, allowing anyone who needed an Internet connection free online access. That response in a time of crisis illustrates how Comcast serves as a good corporate citizen and as an important member of our community.

Similarly, Comcast has been a strong partner with the District on education issues, contributing in a variety of ways. For example, Comcast is making sure that low-income children can have a computer and Internet connection in the home. A few years ago, Comcast debuted its Internet Essentials initiative, which offers to connect homes to the Internet for $10 a month and provides discounted computers for $150. The company also provides digital literacy training for anyone in the home receiving Internet Essentials. The company also encourages academic success. Earlier this year, as in previous years, Comcast's Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program gave scholarships to ten of our high school seniors.

It is this type of response, partnership, and community engagement that we as government leaders hope to see from our corporate citizens. The District bas enjoyed a strong relationship with Comcast. For that reason I ask the Commission to take into consideration all of the important work Comcast has done in the District to enrich the lives of our citizens.

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

On behalf of the Atlanta-based Council for Quality Growth, I write this letter to ask that you approve the proposed transaction between Time Warner Cable and Comcast. Comcast is a premier member of our council, and as CEO since 2003, I've had ample experience with the company and can personally attest to its commitment to investing in technology and innovation in the Atlanta metro region and statewide.

The Council for Quality Growth is a not-for-profit trade association comprised of a diverse membership of developers, contractors, engineers, architects, and other companies and organizations that are interested in growth and development. We work to ensure continued growth and economic success for future generations by providing advocacy, information and education to our members, and promoting balanced and responsible growth.

Comcast has been a strong and vital cog in our economy, and has promoted economic growth and supported good jobs continuously. I understand that the company employs nearly 4,000 Georgians in full-time positions, with full and quality benefits. The company owns and operates nearly 200 properties across the state and generates roughly $100 million annually in state and local tax revenues.

Most importantly, Comcast provides the infrastructure necessary for economic growth and development in our region. Thanks to Comcast's state-of-the-art network, Comcast Business offers advanced communications solutions for small to mid-sized companies that increase productivity, offering speeds of up to 10 Gbps. And Comcast will continue to develop innovative technology and infrastructure; I hear that the company continues to invest billions in next-generation technologies, and that it doubles the capacity of its network every 18 months.

If the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable were to be approved, I believe that Comcast would become a stronger company, and that it would use its new scale to drive more innovation and investment that would benefit consumers and businesses.

This kind of investment drives our economic growth, so I hope the FCC will approve the transaction.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

My name is Ceasar C. Mitchell and I am the president of the Atlanta City Council. As a native Atlantan, I am especially proud to serve our citizens and to safeguard their welfare and prosperity. Atlanta is fortunate to count on good corporate citizens, such as Comcast, whose investments in the metropolitan area are improving our communities and supporting growth. I encourage you to support the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable, which would likely extend the good work that Comcast is already doing in Atlanta.

As someone who is personally invested in the future of our young people, working to generate solutions to the barriers that can derail them from education and career success, I appreciate Comcast's efforts to help underserved communities access the resources of the Internet.

I understand that Internet Essentials, the most comprehensive broadband access program in the country, has already enrolled 1.4 million low-income Americans. They now have the ability to acquire information, advance their educations, and access career opportunities that are sometimes only advertised online - for the affordable price of $9.95 a month.

In Atlanta, 13 percent of the estimated qualifying households are already receiving service, an outcome that is sure to increase, thanks to new measures on the part of Comcast. The company has offered to indefinitely extend the Internet Essentials program - which was initially a three-year project - and recently announced an initiative that offers six months of free Internet service for new households, coupled with some debt forgiveness for families who may have outstanding balances. Through these efforts, Comcast is showing that it is committed to significantly reducing barriers to broadband adoption

and helping ensure that more low-income students and families take advantage of 21st century technology.

Finally, Comcast is a principled corporate citizen that is also a leader in the areas of talent diversity and inclusion. To my knowledge, since the completion of its transaction with NBCUniversal, the number of executives of color has increased by 32 percent. The company has also increased business with minority-owned vendors by 20 percent.

At Comcast, it is clear that innovation and technology are the genesis for progress, integrity and community-wide investment. The FCC should not delay its approval of the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

Sincerely,

Re: Comcast and Time Warner Cable Transaction

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to comment on the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction. Comcast operates television stations, call centers and other facilities and provides cable and Internet services in Illinois, and it has a strong presence in benevolent activities as well. As Chairman of the Board of Winnebago County, Illinois, I request the Commission's approval of the proposed Comcast/Time Warner Cable transaction.

Our County is located in north-central Illinois and the City of Rockford is our county seat. We are home to 278,000 people whose work supports numerous industries, many of which are based in manufacturing. We have a strong highway network, three major hospitals, forests and parks, and a great deal of farmland. Economic development is a top focus for our county, working in concert with surrounding Illinois and Wisconsin communities.

Comcast has proven to be a durable economic partner here. Last year, Comcast invested more than $1 billion in its activities in Illinois. I understand its Illinois payroll is close to $30 million a year at this point. The company provides needed jobs and its hiring policies are among the most inclusive we've seen.

In particular, Comcast is known for its efforts to employ military veterans, a cause that our County Board devotes significant resources to. Our Veterans Assistance Commission helps honorably discharged veterans in need, and we have a role in making job referrals. We know that Comcast actively seeks to hire veterans through several companywide initiatives. For instance, Comcast set a goal a few years ago to hire 2,000 veterans over a roughly two-year period. It met that goal early. Comcast works directly with the U.S. Army at job fairs, and it set up an Internet page where veterans can look up job opportunities and look into advancing their educational and career training. The company also has published an online guide for veterans that explains how they can tap their military training to ace job interviews; and does business with the National Veteran-Owned Business Association, among other pro-veteran activities.

It is our mission to provide high quality services and promote a safe community for all people in Winnebago County.

We also see Comcast officials and employees out in our community in many forums. I am a strong proponent of volunteerism and when it comes to this subject matter, Comcast Cares Day does many projects in Winnebago County. Every year, I wake up early and join hundreds of Comcast employees, friends and family, to kick-off Comcast Cares Day in our communities. It is one of our largest days of service and is something I look forward to annually. I should also mention that Joan Sage, Comcast's Government and Regulatory Affairs Manager has attended several meetings of our Board to talk about Comcast' Internet Essentials program offered to any family with children who are eligible for free and reduced school lunches. This program provides Internet service for a reduced price (along with reduced cost computers) and is another great example of how this corporation sees beyond commerce and does good for those that need it most. If allowed to merge with Time Warner Cable, Comcast has committed to bring this program to more communities, which would surely provide a meaningful benefit to them.

Sincerely.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As President and Chief Executive Officer of Crown Media Family Networks, home to Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, I support the proposed merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

Crown Media is an independent programmer. No multichannel video programming distributor or broadcaster owns an attributable ownership interest in it. Crown Media is not a media conglomerate with numerous linear channels, and it does not have the leverage resulting from retransmission consent.

Nonetheless, for more than a decade, Comcast has been not only one of the largest, but also one of the most supportive, distributors of Hallmark Channel. Crown Media has had a nationwide distribution agreement with Comcast since 2003. Comcast has launched and distributed Hallmark Channel in highly-penetrated tiers, and it is typically available to subscribers of Comcast's Digital Economy or Digital Starter tiers, with over 19 million subscribers. Likewise, since Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (formerly Hallmark Movie Channel) launched in 2008, Comcast has been one of its most supportive distributors and now delivers over 17 million of the channel's subscribers on digital tiers. Comcast's early and deep distribution of both channels has spurred their growth and increased original programming.

Comcast's distribution of Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries contributes substantially to the diversity of programming available to viewers. Both channels offer high quality, family friendly programming, that is informative and entertaining. We strive to offer engaging and inspirational programming that families will watch together. The channels feature numerous original movies and series each year, covering a wide range of genres, including dramas, comedies, mysteries, and westerns. In fact, this year alone, Hallmark Channel will air more than 550 hours of original premiere programming. Its Cedar Cove series has been well-received by viewers and acclaimed by critics such that it presently ranks No. 1 in household viewing on Saturdays in the 8-9 p.m. slot.

Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries also are the undisputed leaders in family holiday programming, broadcasting over 1250 hours of original and classic holiday movies during the 2013 Christmas season. The channels have featured a mix of original movies and classic holiday offerings, including the annual "Countdown to Christmas" block; recent Christmas in July programming special; romance-themed shows during February; Mother's and Father's Day-related specials; and Halloween special programming as well.

Our family-friendly programming, consistent with the trusted and widely-recognized Hallmark brand, and Comcast's committed distribution have helped make Hallmark Channel one of the most popular general entertainment networks. Comcast's wide-spread distribution of the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries reflects a genuine commitment to programming diversity and to family programming because we do not have other leverage (such as retransmission consent) to force such carriage. One need only look at Comcast's programming schedule to recognize that it similarly distributes other independent channels with diverse programming, whether family-friendly, minority-owned or programmed, or presented in foreign languages.

Given Comcast's long history of being one of the most supportive distributors of unaffiliated and independent programmers, we believe the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger will be a positive development not only for the Hallmark channels, but also for other unaffiliated and independent networks.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As the President and CEO of the Cuban National Council, Inc., I support Comcast's proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable.

CNC is a front line community service organization that provides direct human services to needy individuals from diverse racial and ethnic groups with a focus on Hispanics and minorities. While we were founded In the early 1970s to particularly serve Cuban Americans as they transitioned into U.S. life, we now serve all communlties and have expanded from basic subsistence issues into broader questions of education, economic opportunity, and social justice.

The proposed combination of Comcast and Time Warner Cable will bring substantial benefits to the communities we serve. As a company with a record of keeping its promises to the Latino community, Comcast has promised to invest hundreds of millions of new dollars a year in improving broadband service in their new markets. This investment will generate powerful economic opportunities and ensure the life-changing power of high·speed Internet access is available to more and more Americans.

The transaction will bring the benefits of Comcast's Internet Essentials program to thousands of additional American families in the newly acquired areas. CNC has worked on digital literacy and broadband adoption with Comcast for years, and I have seen first-hand how affordable home access to the Internet changes lives. Internet Essentials is the most complete and effective program I have ever to seen to help needy families get online for the first time, combining affordable service and heavily discounted computer hardware with free digital skills training and powerful learning programs like the Khan Academy. As such, Internet Essentials addresses virtually all the leading obstacles to broadband adoption that experts have identified. If we are going to truly close the digital divide in this country, we need to expand these efforts, as Comcast proposes to do through this transaction.

Comcast has also been a strong supporter of a free and open Internet – which is critical to our democracy and especially to online service organizations like CNC. Expanding this commitment to Time

Warner cable communities is another valuable public good that will make the Internet stronger and more open for all users if the two companies are permitted to combine.

The biggest criticism I hear about the proposed deal is that it will eliminate competition for cable television. But to me the response that Comcast and Time Warner cable already operate in different markets makes sense. How can the transaction eliminate a competitor that does not exist today? I would always support more choices for local communities, but that seems like a different issue since this deal does not increase or lessen choice at all.

I understand that the Commission's job is to determine if this proposal serves the public interest. By improving Internet service, expanding net neutrality protections, increasing minority-focused video options, and Investing in community development programs, I believe it does.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

On behalf of the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce, where I serve as President/COO, I would like to officially offer my support for the proposed Time Warner Cable/Comcast transaction. I urge your commission to grant its approval.

The mission of the Chamber is to serve as an advocate for the creation, growth and general welfare of African American businesses in Dallas. We have been fortunate to call Time Warner Cable our valued partner, and since 2006, it has made meaningful contributions as our membership body and Greater Dallas community.

I believe that the proposed transaction between Time Warner Cable and Comcast would further advance our goals, considering Comcast's corporate leadership in the areas of diversity and inclusion, and extend many benefits to future markets.

Comcast has made it a priority to encourage diversity throughout its workforce and C-suites. I understand that since the completion of its acquisition of NBCUniversal in March 2013, the company has increased the number of minorities at the executive level by 32 percent. In addition, professionals of color account for 40 percent of total hires - a notable demonstration of Comcast's commitment.

The company is also working with supplier diversity organizations across the country, including the National Minority Supplier Development Council and the National Black Chamber of Commerce. Since 2007, it has partnered with the National Urban League, and was ranked by Black Enterprise Magazine as one of the 40 "Best Companies for Diversity" in the country. Comcast is clearly working to support African American businesses and communities across the U.S., and we would welcome the company's resources - along with its services - here in Dallas.

To my knowledge, 3,000 Texans already call Comcast their full-time employer, and the company's community investment totaled $4.7 million last year.

The approval of the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable would be advantageous for our communities and would extend the company's inclusion and diversity practices across Texas. I encourage the FCC to support it.

For almost 150 years, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce has served as the leading voice for Colorado's business community. With a membership that includes 3,000 businesses and their 300,000 employees from across the metro region and the state, the Chamber is a powerful and effective advocate for both small and large businesses at the local, state and federal levels. As business leaders committed to creating a healthy business climate, enhancing our state's global competitiveness, and ensuring the highest standards for an improved quality of life, we are keenly aware of the role technology plays in enabling businesses to grow and thrive, and we value Comcast as a leader in investing in our community.

Comcast contributes to the strength of our local economy as a critical service provider to our business community, large employer and key community partner. By lending their expertise to help guide and advise new strategic initiatives, serving on our board and committees, supporting programs and events that enable us to bring together leaders from across our many different industries and sectors, and contributing resources to help tell our story - such as producing videos and donating air time to carry important Chamber messaging - Comcast leaders demonstrate their active, ongoing commitment to strengthening Colorado. Whether donating time and resources to improve our business community, local neighborhoods (Comcast Cares Day) or our schools (Internet Essentials), Comcast is deeply invested in our community.

I look forward to an ongoing relationship with Comcast as it continues to provide better services and products to our business community, expand infrastructure that will benefit every region served by Comcast and make meaningful investments in our community.

Re: Comment Regarding Merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable

To Whom It May Concern,

As the executive director of a nonprofit community-based organization, the Denver Indian Center, I had the opportunity to partner with Comcast on several business and community investments. The Denver Indian Center, established in 1983, is a 501c3 organization that serves Colorado's American Indians in workforce development, youth programs and emergency services.

Comcast was a tremendous community partner to the Denver Indian Center by providing grant support, developing public service announcements, providing in-kind air time, and thousands of volunteer hours. This support from Comcast provided youth from diverse backgrounds in Metro Denver and families at Denver Public Schools with valuable resources, programs and opportunities.

Their signature Internet Essentials program has been extremely successful in bridging the digital divide for families who historically haven't had internet access, especially the American Indian.

In my new role in the Denver Public Schools Indian Education Program, I continue to enjoy partnership with and support from Comcast to help address a variety of student needs. It is my experience that Comcast is a company who is committed to their customers and community, and I fully support the merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable and recommend that the FCC approve. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information regarding this letter of support.

Sincerely,

The Denver South Economic Development Partnership (Denver South EDP) is an organization of government and business leaders committed to the economic vitality and sustainability of the Denver South region. Our area is home to six of Colorado’s Fortune 500 companies, 200,000 workers and over 20,000 businesses. Comcast is the largest private sector employer and an excellent corporate citizen. Denver South EDP supports the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

The proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable will allow more areas of the country to get access to Comcast’s business class service and community investments. Throughout our years-long partnership with Comcast, they have demonstrated their strong commitment to the Denver metro area through investments in our community that have benefitted local organizations, encouraged innovation and economic growth, and served the families of Colorado. We are confident that Comcast will bring the same level of commitment to their new markets if the proposed transaction is approved.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important Comcast / Time Warner Cable transaction.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

Since 1955, the Downtown Denver Partnership has been dedicated to making Downtown Denver better in every way. Our organization creatively plans, manages and develops Downtown Denver as the unique, diverse, vibrant and economically healthy urban core of the Rocky Mountain Region that is recognized for being prosperous, walkable, diverse, distinctive and green. We depend upon and value partners like Comcast who are committed to sharing in and advancing this mission.

The Downtown Denver Partnership is a leader, place-maker, convener, idea generator, facilitator, recruiter, team-builder and policy advocate, and each one of these important efforts benefits from Comcast's support through sponsorship, donation of in-kind resources, and the regular involvement of their local leaders. We enjoy a longstanding partnership with Comcast and value the company for demonstrating time and time again a strong commitment to being a responsible, leading and highly-engaged corporate citizen.

Comcast's innovation and industry leading products and services have helped Downtown Denver become a major business center; we have the technology available that both small and large companies are looking for as they seek to start, move, or expand their business. Comcast has also been a longtime supporter of the array of large and small scale events we lead for our city, providing a variety of ways to stay engaged in our organization and participate in shaping our city's success and future opportunities. Comcast leaders have for many years served on our boards and committees and participated in our leadership development programs, providing invaluable perspective and guidance, as well as collaborating with other local leaders to help accomplish our many goals for our city.

We are passionate about Downtown Denver and we are constantly developing ways to make it a better place, and Comcast is a trusted and valued partner in this effort. We encourage your thoughtful consideration and approval of the Comcast-Time Warner Cable transaction.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As president and CEO of the Economic Council of Palm Beach County, Florida, 1am writing to urge the FCC to approve the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

Our not-for-profit, nonpartisan organization is dedicated to creating a thriving economic environment in Palm Beach County. To achieve that goal, it is imperative that we support our current businesses and attract new business. All businesses today, large and small, require a reliable provider of broadband services. To that end, we are extremely satisfied with the outstanding service that Comcast provides and can use that as a selling point.

I understand that since 1996, Comcast has invested billions in technology and infrastructure in Florida. That means the services we receive are reliable and of the highest quality. In today's global economy, businesses cannot afford to have customers looking for web sites that are down because of unreliable providers.

Here at the Economic Council, we also value Comcast as an exemplary employer (and a Council member). The company employs almost 17,000 Florida residents, pays them a living wage and, from what I understand, offers one of the best benefit packages around, including healthcare and tuition reimbursement.

But Comcast is more than a business partner. The company has an unmatched record of social responsibility. The most visible example is Comcast Cares Day - which is the largest single-day volunteer effort launched by any company in the country. Last year, Comcast employees and their family members and friends completed the "Great American Cleanup"- picking up trash and landscaping the historic district surrounding the West Palm Beach Salvation Army. This was a massive community effort that serves as a model of volunteer spirit to our young people.

As both a businessman and a Palm Beach County resident, I am grateful to Comcast for everything that the company does to improve our quality of life. I believe that if Comcast extends into new areas, the quality of life will improve there as well.

Sincerely,

/s/ Daniel F. Martell

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

I am the Principal and Executive Director of EPIC Academy in Chicago, Illinois. Epic Academy is a nonprofit public college-prep charter school. Our organization aims to provide high-quality and comprehensive college-preparatory education for young men and women, helping them succeed in college and life after college. Our schools are a direct response to the urgent need to reverse abysmal graduation and college completion rates for youth from urban centers. We proudly hold a 98% college acceptance rate among our graduates - predominately individuals of color from low-income families.

I am contacting you to voice my support for the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. As someone that grew up in, and now works in the Comcast market of Chicago, I can personally attest to the Company's commitment to our communities and toward educating our students so as to put them in the best possible position to succeed in life.

One of the most important reasons that I support Comcast is the company's outstanding efforts to decrease the digital divide through its broadband adoption programs. In 2010, Comcast launched Internet Essentials, a program that brings affordable internet, affordable computers, and free digital literacy training to low-income families that have children that qualify for free or reduced lunch under the National School Lunch Program. Of the approximately 450 students that attend our school, over 95% qualify for free lunch. Statistics have shown that the digital divide has disproportionately affected families of color in low-income neighborhoods; without access to computers and the Internet, these households are at a crucial disadvantage.

In Chicago, the program has experienced a dramatic increase in connections since launching. I have seen statistics showing that by the end of 2013, more than 60,000 individuals' households in the city of Chicago area were connected to the Internet through Internet Essentials. Many of these are families in the neighborhoods our students call home. Comcast even spent time working with our staff to help make parents aware of their services so they could close the digital divide.

There is plenty of work still to be done to bridge the digital divide. But, we have to tackle it. From school work to internship applications, an internet connection is an important tool for our students - and students across the country. Luckily, Comcast has committed to continuing Internet Essentials indefinitely and consistently contributes resources to spreading the word. The proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable will allow Comcast to expand its efforts into new and larger markets - cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas - and significantly dent the digital divide in America overall.

It is crucial that these cities receive the same efforts from Comcast that Chicago has enjoyed, and the Federal Communications Committee can help this effort by approving the proposed transaction. I hope that you see things the way I do, and realize how exciting Comcast is making the future of education by working to ensure that all students, regardless of race or economic background, have equal access to the tools and technology that are increasingly becoming basic requirements in today's information age.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

On behalf of the Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation (FAHF), I am pleased to voice our views regarding the Commission's request for comments on the proposed Comcast and Time Warner transaction.

As an organization that is committed to business and workforce development for the success of all members of the community throughout Fresno County in northern California, we are well aware of what is needed to strengthen the social fabric that brings our communities together for the better. After partnering with Comcast in various initiatives including Internet Essentials, I can say unequivocally that Comcast shares our vision for better, culturally diverse future. Not only does the company provide strength to our organization by helping support our programs like the Technical Assistance and Micro-loan Programs.

In part due to our partnership with Comcast and its willingness to host FAHF on the Newsmakers program, FAHF has been able to provide procurement, business development and leadership training, build alliances between communities, raise the visibility of diverse leaders in our County, and educate and inform the diverse communities about key issues that impact their life. The FAHF has evolved to be recognized by County leaders as the voice of the Hispanic and ethnic community that to the platform Comcast has provided us. It's for this reason that we support the transaction.

Thank you again for the opportunity to submit comments for your consideration.

Respectfully,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As the County Commission Chairman of Fulton County, Georgia, I have had the distinct pleasure of watching local communities across the county benefit from the Comcast Corporation's community investment programs. From improving digital literacy standards to brightening up local community hotspots, Comcast has exceeded the standard of corporate citizenship. I support the continuation of Comcast's outreach efforts and therefore encourage the FCC to approve the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable.

Fulton County, which houses the state capital of Atlanta, is ever-changing, fast-growing and leading the way as a world-class county. It is imperative that students in our public schools have access to the latest technology tools and education in order to keep up with the rest of the world. Thanks to Comcast's Internet Essentials program, we can see a brighter future across the County for many of our low-income families. The program has so far connected over 100,000 Georgia residents to low-cost internet, computers and free digital literacy training options at service centers across the state. The goal of Internet Essentials is to support digital literacy education programs so that many more children may succeed in the classroom and in life. Because of Comcast's support, many of our students in Internet Essentials households now can continue their classroom learning at home, their teachers can connect with students to improve assignment tracking and homework completion, and their parents can now keep track of household finances and apply for jobs online.

Earlier this month, I attended a a press conference to announce Comcast's plan to provide up to six months of complimentary service for any new family that has not yet applied for Internet Essentials. Over 30 elected officials and community leaders, including Georgia's First Lady

Sandra Deal and Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent, Meria Carstarphan, joined Comcast representatives at Peyton Forest Elementary School to make the announcement, donate free laptop computers to all of the school's 4th and 5th graders, and to draw attention to the current digital divide that has left many Georgia families behind. The media attention has helped more families become aware of the real possibility of online access through Internet Essentials.

I have also been able to watch and participate in Comcast Cares Day, the largest single corporate day of service in the nation for several years now. Each year, Comcast employees spread out across the county to landscape and beautify local community centers, parks and public schools. It is an admirable showcase of solidarity and I look forward to seeing these events continue.

Fulton County experiences the same hardships as most metropolitan areas in this country. We are fortunate to have Comcast as a helping hand to create better education and economic opportunities for our residents. I believe that opening up Comcast's excellent community service work to more people will help this entire nation advance to compete in the new, digital age. Thank you for taking my views into account as you review the merger proposal.

Dear Chairman Wheeler,

My name is Chris Clark and I am a native Georgian and the President and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, where I work to ensure the competitiveness of the businesses and people of our state. Comcast has brought advances in technology and infrastructure to Georgia, and I support its proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable.

Here at the Georgia Chamber, we are fortunate to count on the leadership and expertise of Michael Wall, an employee of Comcast, who is attuned to the regional nuances and business environment of the Atlanta area and who has taken a strong interest in being a part of and supporting our hard work to create a better business community here.

Comcast is committed to integrity, and I know firsthand that it strongly believes in business competition and supplier diversity to enhance service and benefits for all consumers.

I understand that in 2013, Comcast and NBCUniversal spent $1.3 billion on diverse suppliers, and its supplier diversity program is designed to promote and increase the participation of diverse businesses across its footprint. That means women-owned, minority-owned and veteran-owned businesses – just to name a few – are able to leverage resources and generate growth in their local communities.

Moreover, following its March 2013 acquisition of NBCUniversal, Comcast upheld the promises it made prior to the completion of the union, such as the broad implementation of Internet Essentials, or lntemet Basico, as it is called in Spanish – a comprehensive digital adoption program that has already benefitted 1.2 million Americans.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

We in Delaware are proud to be the First State. We weren't just the first state to ratify the Constitution. We were also the first state to trial Comcast's pioneering Internet Essentials program.

I am the current Governor of Delaware, a former Delaware State Treasurer, and a former Comcast executive. I have gotten a firsthand look at the serious benefits that Comcast continues to bring our state as its major broadband and cable provider. Please approve the proposed Comcast - Time Warner transaction to ensure that these momentous investments don't end with Delaware, but are instead enabled lo better the lives of millions around the country.

Comcast currently serves the majority of my state. The company has around 191,000 subscribers in our state, and nearly 1,300 full-time employees. We have seen Comcast's ongoing commitment to infrastructure and community. Since 1996, Delaware has benefitted from over $350 million in capital investment from Comcast. Our state's businesses can compete throughout the world with state-of-the-art high-speed Comcast broadband technology. The ongoing, substantial investment means that our state's infrastructure will not stagnate. Comcast enables continued growth in all sectors of our economy through their consistent development.

Comcast's development doesn't just serve businesses. Comcast's Internet Essentials program is rapidly closing the Digital Divide. Kuumba Academy Charter School in Wilmington played host to the first trial of the program, which connects low-income families to high-speed internet infrastructure at home. We were proud to provide a successful test of the initiative, which has since provided over 300,000 households nationwide with the access they need to our digital economy. In Delaware, more than 1,500 households have taken advantage of this program, and the number increases every day. A combined Time Warner

– Comcast entity could empower more children than ever before to seize their futures through this innovative program.

Comcast's corporate citizenship doesn't operate from 9 to 5. We see their sustained partnerships everywhere we look in our communities. Comcast employees fully participate in making our towns and cities better places to live through corporate programs like Comcast Cares Day and United Way contributions, which drew nearly 1,000 volunteers and 1,000 pledges in 2013 alone, respectively.

Delaware has been the First State since 1787. We have been a model for the rest of the country since this nation's founding. Comcast's investments in Delaware, in our infrastructure and in our communities, is similarly a model of corporate citizenship for our country. I humbly urge your approval of this transaction so that this kind of community citizenship can reach even more communities in our great nation.

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

I am writing in support of the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable merger transaction, which I am confident, will improve Hawai`i’s economic competitiveness and result in community development opportunities.

I am proud to serve as Governor of the State of Hawai`i ("State"), which deserves its reputation as the premiere vacation destination in the world. However, for our State to continue to grow, we must expand our information and research sectors as well as strengthen our tourism industry. The recent recession demonstrated how important it is to achieve a wide balance of economic development, and a strong Internet infrastructure is crucial to this goal and to our growth.

Hawai`i has a unique set of challenges for Internet providers. Comcast has assured me that it will be better positioned to make the capital investments necessary to keep Hawai`i competitive through technological upgrades that will bring long- and short-term economic opportunities for the State. According to recent Census figures, 28.5% of the State does not have Internet access at home. This figure is too high since we want all of·our students to graduate with the skills they need in today's economy.

I have been impressed with Comcast and what it can offer the State, especially its Internet Essentials program, which offers discount Internet service to low income families and has helped to bring low-cost Internet access to more than 1.2 million people. The State could really benefit from having this important service available to

the people of Hawai`i. Your approval of this transaction should bring this needed service from the mainland to our shores.

At this juncture, the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs ("DCCA"), the state agency in Hawai`i tasked with oversight over the proposed transaction, is currently reviewing the matter to ensure that the proposed transaction is in the public interest. I believe that Comcast will diligently work with the DCCA to ensure that the proposed transaction will result in material benefits for the people of Hawai`i.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As Senior Pastor of Grace Bapllst Church. Chairman of the National Action Network, and a member at large of the Joint Diversity Advisory Council convened to advise Comcast Corporation, I write to urge you to approve the proposed expansion of Comcast into territories currently served by Trme Warner Cable.

Expanding Comcast operations to new territories will be an unqualified public good. Comcast is a diversity leader and one of the most forward looking and civic-minded corporations in the United States. Today, 40% of the combined workforce of Comcast and its partner NBCUniversal are minorities, including 25% of company management. Its Board of Directors is one-third diverse, including two African-American members, Kenneth J. Bacon and Johnathan A. Rodgers.

Many companies speak metaphorically about giving minorities a seat at the table, but Comcast has gone beyond words to action. Its revolutionary Joint Diversity Advisory Councils bring in leaders representing virtually the entire cross-section of Arnerican life to advise on company governance and ensure that all affected communities are heard from when decisions affecting them are made. Expanding this model via the transaction to Time Warner Cable areas will only empower citizens more fully.

The company has also worked hard to bring real economic opportunity to the communities where it is engaged. From banking and other services to suppliers and service contractors, Comcast and NBCUniversal spend well over $1 billion a year with minority vendors.

Finally, and most importantly, Comcast has led the way bringing the life-changing power of the Internet to under-served communities and low-income families. Its Intemet Essentials program has now connected over 1.4 million Americans. and especially school-aged children, with high speed Internet at home. The company has listened when people have suggested improvements to this program, increasing speeds multiple times, expanding the pool of eligible Americans, and recently introducing a forgiveness program for low-income families who owe the company for old bills. In America today, equalizing online opportunity is fundamental to equalizing economic opportunity. And on this point. Comcast and its senior-most leadershlp really get it.

Expanding these pro-social, pro-community policies will serve the public interest and powerfully benefit the communities affected.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

Since 1914, the Greater Atlantic City Chamber has provided the local and regional business community with meaningful services to create a favorable economic climate. The Chamber works in tandem with member businesses to foster growth of the region's economy and facilitate a higher quality of life for its residents. There is no question that the region's economy Is dealing with its fair share of challenges. Atlantic City is still on the mend from the national economic downturn and is facing increased competition from gaming industries in neighboring states. However, with innovative leadership and collaboration among businesses, Atlantic City's prospects are taking a more positive turn.

Atlantic City is located in a Comcast service area, which has brought great benefit to business and residential communities. Comcast has been an active member of our Chamber and has provided members with access to excellent business services. Residents and businesses alike benefit from Comcast's offering the fastest broadband speeds and Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots. The company opened these hotspots free of charge to the public immediately after Superstorm Sandy in 2012 to help residents, businesses and emergency responders communicate during this catastrophic event. As Atlantic City works toward a brighter economic future, it is helpful to have a high quality cable and Internet provider as a partner. We encourage the FCC to open the door for more communities to benefit from a Comcast partnership by approving its proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable.

Comcast Corporation has shown a sincere commitment to the Atlantic City community by ensuring that all of Its local business entities take part in Chamber activities: Comcast Business, Comcast Spotlight, Comcast Cable and Global Spectrum, the management company for two important non-gaming venues in Atlantic City - the Atlantic City Convention Center and Boardwalk Hall. Fred DeAndrea, Comcast's Freedom Region Director of Government and Regulatory Affairs, is a member of the board and frequently contributes to the Chamber's regional business plans. Other Comcast team members are regular event sponsors, participants and leaders. This past May, Comcast Spotlight headed up a

networking luncheon to help members find solutions to advertise their businesses. This commitment to helping businesses succeed across the board is a major reason why Comcast is truly making an impact on the future of Atlantic City's economy.

Comcast Business Service has become a sought-after office service for the Chamber and its members. This service provides advanced communication solutions to help companies of all sizes be more productive . Comcast Business Ethernet Service additionally delivers high-performance, multi-point connectivity over a national fiber-optic network. For many of our local office parks and convention spaces, this multi-access broadband connectivity has proven to be the most user-friendly system ever used. The Ethernet service also provides high speed connections of up to 10 Gbps, which helps Atlantic City-area businesses compete with the scale of the world's economy.

Finally, the entire community is advanced by Comcast's commitment to providing a sound cable and broadband infrastructure for our region's telecommunications system. We understand that Comcast has invested billions in its network and next-generation technologies and has increased speeds 13 times in the last 12 years. Residential downstream broadband speeds have increased to 505 Mbps and are among the highest in the industry. Comcast has also doubled the capacity of its network every 18 months and has planted Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots in public spaces all over Atlantic City.

All in all, Comcast has helped provide the Greater Atlantic City region tools to move toward a brighter economic future. With excellent Chamber participation from several Comcast entities, Comcast is truly one of the best corporate partners with which we are associated. We urge the FCC to consider of the examples in this letter and take a step to move America's economy forward by approving the proposed Time Warner Cable/Comcast transaction.

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

I have a great deal of experience serving the Greater Atlanta area business and residential communities. In my thirteen years of working in the region, I have worked on behalf of numerous committees and organizations on issues such as healthcare, transportation, education and economic development. I currently hold two positions that allow me to broaden the scope of this work. I am the CEO of the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce and a Georgia State Senator for the 21st district. I write this letter today to mark my support of the proposed Time Warner Cable/Comcast transaction – Comcast has proven itself as an excellent driver of commercial and community success here in the Greater Atlanta area. I believe that areas currently served by Time Warner Cable could greatly stand to benefit from this transaction.

To begin, I have been impressed by the innovation of Comcast’s advanced video services and broadband options. Comcast rejuvenated their network by sticking to a plan that created an entirely new all-digital network in 2012. Consumers and business have inestimably benefited from the faster downstream broadband speeds this network creates: every Comcast broadband device offers at least 25 megabits per second. For current subscribers, it’s never been easier or faster to connect to the digital world an advantage that’s felt by our entire society. I have also had numerous opportunities to use Comcast’s Ethernet services in the workplace. This service allows all users to connect at multiple points to a national fiber-optic network. The service offers speeds of up to 10 Gbps with full-scalability, a service that matches the demands of Atlanta’s bustling and expanding business and conference centers.

Each year, I’m happy to join with our local representatives to recognize recipients of Comcast’s Leaders and Achievers Scholarship. At least four local area high school seniors are selected each year for a $1,000 scholarship to students who strive to achieve their potential and are catalysts for positive change in their communities. Comcast’s Internet Essentials program, which provides digital literacy tools and training to low-income families, is another way that Comcast has put action to words in improving the economic future of our most disadvantaged residents.

Being located in a Comcast service area certainly has a plethora of advantages. The combined community investment and groundbreaking service Comcast offers through its regional programming and local employee engagement is highly admirable.

I look forward to seeing more of what this charitable, altruistic company can do if they have the chance to expand their service areas. In that regard, I encourage the FCC to swiftly approve the proposed Time Warner Cable/Comcast transaction.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

I write on behalf of the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a not for profit organization formed by nearly 600 members, 7.5 full time staff and a board of directors of 18. We submit these comments in favor of Comcast Corporation’s acquisition of Time Warner Cable.

We believe that the Federal Communications Commission should rely on market forces in considering the Time Warner Cable transaction because it is the supply and demand factors what ensures us that consumers are served, and we see no clear evidence that a proposed combination of these companies would harm the public. Comcast and Time Warner Cable are not direct competitors, and the proposed transaction will not limit or lower consumer choice. We find that this merger would enhance the public’s ability to access high quality Internet, cable and video services through the latest technology enhancements available to the public, across all income levels.

Latinos are highly mobile and surpass the general population in wireless and mobile technology regardless of income class. The Comcast Time Warner transaction would enable and enhance access to incredible programming for the Latino community in two of the largest Latino markets in the nation. We support companies that enhance Latino quality of life as Comcast does.

We’ve heard people say that Comcast will shut down competitor websites or somehow act as a gatekeeper over what we see on television or online if this transaction is approved. That sort of misinformation makes no sense at all and in fact, it is used against educated consumers. Being in Comcast’s home market, we’ve learned first-hand that the company is a broadband provider that knows its customers would leave if the company blocked or controlled access to online content – and so it is not doing these things. The critics have not explained why an increase in its subscriber base would somehow lead to illegitimate activities that do not occur today. And as a business organization, we ask how it would benefit Comcast to anger its own customers by unfairly limiting the ways they use the service? If Comcast customers can’t access the websites or shows they want, they aren’t going to remain customers for very long.

Some critics argue that the new company will be too large, but we have seen no explanation of how size alone could hurt consumers. However, Comcast competitors include Verizon, AT&T, and Dish – three large, powerful companies highly regarded across markets. It makes no sense to limit Comcast’s growth when it competes against larger companies such as Google with higher

market values and substantially more customers. Another example is Wal-Mart; very big, but it offers very low prices and benefits consumers a great deal. In the Latino retail sales community, Wal-Mart also adds great value to small business owners facing economic and language challenges by allowing them to keep neighborhood jobs in small stores while serving food desert customers.

We believe that Comcast would have an opportunity to boost Time Warner’s markets, particularly low to moderate markets such as some Latino markets in New York and Los Angeles, by retaining existing jobs and creating new jobs while allowing them to train individuals to access new careers in technology as they have done with other mergers. Having experienced Comcast for many years, the one thing that Comcast is not known for is to leave people without jobs; yet well-known at developing professionals. While the supposed harms from this transaction seem flimsy or nonexistent, the promised benefits are concrete and real.

We are told the company has committed to spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year on enhancing service in new territories. That is good for Internet and video users; however, we see incredible value as this kind of investment fuels neighborhood growth and the broader business economy.

The members of the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce are local businesses, and we believe a larger Comcast that reaches places like Charlotte (an emerging Latino market) and New York (a mature Latino market, primary to Philadelphia Latinos) will offer a valuable new choice for business customers. Right now, the options are limited for multi-office enterprises that need business Internet service and want to rely on only one provider. Extending Comcast’s footprint to serve businesses with locations in New York, Los Angeles, and other major cities would open up an attractive option. A Comcast that reaches those markets would be a boon to competition and it would likely produce cost savings for businesses in those new markets.

We lastly want to mention that, Comcast has been a leader in corporate civic responsibility in the Philadelphia region and many communities across the nation. We can attest that Comcast will be a great partner and friend in any community they seek to serve. Perhaps because its business model requires such a large on the ground presence in neighborhoods and communities, the company seems to understand the value of civic investment and local partnerships, and its list of charitable works is long and impressive. These activities are real and of great benefit to the communities involved.

We thank you for the opportunity to express our views on this important subject to the Latino community, to our nation.

Truly,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

In my role with Partnership Gwinnett, I am responsible for business recruitment and retention efforts for the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. I'm also heavily involved with developing and executing on our "Partnership Gwinnett" strategy. The initial phase of this comprehensive economic development plan, designed with input from government, business and community leaders, saw the expansion or relocation here of 250 companies, more than 12,000 jobs and more than $800 million in investment.

The information technology solutions industry is among the top target industries for the Partnership. That's because our existing and future innovation economy relies heavily on technological advancement.

Comcast more than meets the demands of a significant sector of area businesses with its digital broadband and video. And we see the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction as the logical next step in the company's technology evolution. It is my hope that the proposed transaction will be approved.

Comcast is a strong economic partner in the region and the state of Georgia. The company is known for offering the fastest available broadband speeds, as well as video, communications and business management services that offer flexibility and allow customization by the user.

A top feature of the company's performance, as far as we are concerned, is Comcast's constant investment in its infrastructure. For instance, its IPv6 is now enabling the addition of new addresses and services our partners want and need. Comcast has increased broadband speeds 13 times in only 12 years. That gives us faith that as demands evolve - and often before a new demand is even made - Comcast will be able to meet them.

Business communities that want to remain competitive must have this kind of forward-thinking and reliable telecommunications provider in order to maximize their own potential. We also appreciate that as a corporate partner, Comcast is consistently willing to get involved in community affairs and share its expertise with budding entrepreneurs.

We back the proposed transaction and hope that it receives your approval. Thank you for a chance to weigh in on this important matter.

Sincerely,

/s/ Nick Masino

To whom it may concern:

Thanks to a quality higher education, I was able to alter the cycle of poverty my immigrant family experienced as laborers in our local steel-mill community and attain several college degrees that helped me achieve many of my personal and professional goals. Now, as president of Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC), the Commonwealth’s largest and oldest community college, I see firsthand how engaging business partners in accomplishing our mission of educating many first generation students and immigrants is no longer an option but now an essential “coin of the realm.”

As you review the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable transaction, please consider at least the following three contributions Comcast continues to make to improve lives in the areas it serves, especially in our 10-county service region in Central Pennsylvania.

Comcast has demonstrated its commitment to Central Pennsylvania's neediest families through its pioneering Internet Essentials program. Homes with a child eligible for the National School Lunch Program can now have the untold riches of the Internet available at their fingertips in the home at an affordable price. The educational resources available through the Internet -- not to mention the need to be familiar with technology tools -- are critical to success in school and, later in life, on the job.

2.	Comcast has offered its Leaders and Achievers scholarship program for nearly 15 years, opening the door to higher education with financial assistance many of our best and brightest students need.

3.	Comcast is committed to ensuring its employees achieve their post-secondary education by offering a robust tuition reimbursement program for its employees who desire to improve their abilities - either for the job they're in or for other opportunities that match their talents and desires.

In the three years I have been president of HACC, I have been impressed with and grateful for Comcast's commitment to putting education within the reach of so many in our communities who otherwise would not have had an opportunity to achieve their personal and professional goals. Should this transaction be approved, my colleagues throughout the region and nation will learn what we in Pennsylvania already know - that Comcast understands the importance of higher education to success for individuals and vitality of the communities they populate.

That is why I respectively request your favorable review of the Comcast-Time Warner merger.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

As President and CEO of HandsOn Broward, one of Florida's largest volunteer organizations, I have seen firsthand the impact of putting people at the center of change. Our mission is to develop volunteer and community investment programs to spread positive change across Broward County. We are lucky to empower more than 600 community non-profits every year. Comcast has been one of our staunchest corporate partners since joining us in 2009. I support the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable because I believe that Comcast, as a leader in corporate altruism, ought to have the chance to grow.

HandsOn Broward is one large networking agency for activists and beneficiaries. We work to identify causes that require hands-on help, then direct an army made up of individual volunteers and non-profits to reenergize the project. Many of our programs center on youth leadership development. Comcast's youth broadband adoption programs have been a popular option for our local teens and young adults.

Thanks to a generous grant from Comcast, we are now a full-service center for its Digital Connectors Program . This program helps us to target our youth who are looking to serve their communities through technology and leadership. Comcast's Digital Connectors places computer labs and training centers with skilled instructors in dozens of local community hotspots and schools in its service areas. They are safe spaces where students can complete homework assignments and connect to other worlds and ideas. The kids who utilize this program are able to sharpen technical proficiencies and acquire lifelong principles that inspire educational and professional advancement.

Comcast as a company shares in my organization's mission of public service and activism. It hosts the largest, single company day of service each year, called Comcast Cares Day. All over the country, Comcast joins with local organizations and volunteers to clean up local community centers and improve the standard of living for thousands of residents. We have been honored to partner with Comcast on this day for the last several years. Last year we held two events in tandem with Comcast. One was a Human Race 5k Walk and Run that allowed multiple non-profits to participate and fundraise. The other was a park cleanup that included mural painting and landscaping. I am always impressed to see high-level executives roll up their sleeves and work with volunteers from all walks of life to help on these

103

projects. After each year, this day of service brings lasting change to local communities and inspires a new generation of volunteers.

I was proud to name Comcast as our Corporate Partner of the Year in 2010. Since Comcast came aboard in 2009, our organization has advanced on multiple fronts to provide community participants the belief that anything is possible. I look forward to serving hand in hand with Comcast representatives for years to come. I urge the FCC to approve the proposed transaction as quickly as possible so Comcast's community investment programs can continue to expand to other areas.

Sincerely,

Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE), an advocacy organization that works with legislators, community leaders and nonprofits to advance the interest of Latinas, would like to share with you its experience in working with Comcast. We hope that you take our opinion into consideration as you decide whether or not the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger should move forward.

Comcast suppons our mission of empowering Latinas, be they young women or seasoned professionals, with digital literacy skills that will alter their future. We have partnered with Comcast to bring its Internet Essentials skills training component to HOPE members and to spread the word about Internet Essentials' availability in our community. Comcast has recently announced that they will be extending Internet Essentials indefinitely. We at HOPE could not be more thrilled by this news as internet access helps all members of a family succeed. Children do better at school and parents have the ability to look for better employment. From our own study "Public Opinion Poll of California Latina Electorate 2009" – Latinas that have access to the Internet and an email address are significantly more likely to be informed about new state laws and the legislative process in Sacramento than Latina voters that are not connected to "new media." They are also more likely to get directly involved in organizations that focus on issues that impact on their careers and the quality of life of their families. We also found that the number one reason a low-income Latino family would purchase a computer and access the internet is to support their child's education, for these reasons ensuring a low cost option to internet access to Latinos is of importance to HOPE.

HOPE applauds Comcast's recent efforts to fulfill their commitment to bringing more diversity into their ranks. In the past three years, the number of women that hold senior-level positions at Comcast has increased by 36 percent. To achieve this Comcast has restructured their recruitment process to attract diversity talent into their hiring pools, directly addressing any shortcomings while many countries would simply claim that they somehow don't attract "the right candidates." Comcast continues to lead the way on the issue of diversity by offering more than 100 internal and external programs such as Comcast's Executive Leadership Career Advancement Program (ELCAP) and Comcast's Women in Leadership program. However, we see this only as a start and would encourage that Comcast not only continue their current diversity efforts but look to recruit a Latina Board member and ensure that in their procurement efforts that they lead the way in contractting with Latina small business owners.

If this proposed transaction is permitted to move forward, we look forward to working with Comcast and regulators to help ensure that there are low cost options to internet access; increased advancement of Latina executives within the Comcast workforce; a Latina to serve on the Comcast board; and increase procurement opportunities are offered to Latina small business owners. HOPE is in support of this merge with the understanding that Comcast will not only continue but grow their current efforts in the Latino community.

Sincerely.

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

As President of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Marin, I write today to urge the Federal Communications Commission to approve the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Marin's mission is to support, advance and promote the growth and success of Hispanic businesses and professionals through collaboration, policy-making, networking opportunities and access to resources.

Comcast has been great corporate partner on many of the initiatives that we care deeply about in our community. On the business side, Comcast has invested almost $10 billion in tech and infrastructure in the state since 1996. That outstanding commitment makes growth for all sectors possible and provides valuable business services that empower our community's businesses.

But beyond business, Comcast's corporate citizenship and commitment to the welfare and progress of the Hispanic and other underserved populations in Marin County should be applauded. I have worked closely with Comcast's local leaders as a board member of the Marin and Southern Sonoma Boys and Girls Club and seen how their support of the BGC programs has empowered youth of all walks of life in our community.

106

I have also worked very closely with Comcast on the implementation of their Internet Essentials program in our county. In 2013, Comcast, the Hispanic Chamber and other community-based groups organized a digital literacy and broadband adoption outreach campaign to the residents of San Rafael's Canal neighborhood, which is comprised of mainly low-income, Latino families. This campaign culminated in a Family Success Fair at a local school where over 200 local families came and learned about how to access Internet Essentials and find local computer training programs.

As a result of our experience with Comcast and Internet Essentials, and the impact that the program has had on our community, the Hispanic Chamber nominated Comcast for Spirit of Marin Business of the Year Award, which they won. We couldn't have been more pleased.

Now after three years, Comcast's Internet Essentials program has been a resounding success in increasing broadband adoption and digital literacy, not just in our community, but in all of Northern California and has helped more than 35,000 families gain access to the 21st Century broadband technology.

Comcast has demonstrated many times over that cares for our community and places a high value on being a solid corporate citizen.. When considering this proposed merger, please take all of the other families who would benefit with the help of Comcast in other markets in California and throughout the country.

Sincerely,

Dear Chailman Wheeler:

My name is Maryanne Metheny, and I work as the CEO for Hope House a Domestic Violence Shelter, based in Kansas City. Hope House provides shelter and comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence, forming a safety net of prevention, education and support for thousands of people traumatized by domestic violence every year.

I write you this letter today to voice my support for the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. In my time leading Hope House, I've gotten to know Comcast and can personally speak to the company's values as a committed member of the community that really cares about helping out local organizations such as my own.

In our current climate of budget cuts, with an expanding number of clients and a decreasing amount of funding, we rely on volunteer events and fundraising to make sure we are able to function at a high level. I can't tell you how important Comcast's involvement and support has been in helping us accomplish our mission.

Early in 2014, we were lucky enough to be chosen as a recipient for Comcast's annual Comcast Cares Day. Comcast Cares Day is the nation's largest single-day corporate volunteer effort. This year, nearly 175 Comcast employees, as well as their family and friends, came to Hope House to volunteer. The amount of work that the Comcast employees did that day would have taken our staff months to accomplish, as they painted, cleaned, and landscaping work around our site.

Further, Comcast has given me a platform to broadcast Hope House's message, in the form of Comcast Newsmakers. Comcast has hosted my organization and me several times, to provide airtime at their own expense to promote the messages and spread the word of organizations like mine that are all trying to make positive impacts on their respective communities.

Comcast's efforts have been truly impressive and have made a world of difference at Hope House. I hope that the FCC will approve the proposed transaction so that Comcast will be able to make a wider impact on organizations like mine. As budgets decrease, corporate volunteer work will become increasingly important for nonprofit organizations to flourish, and we need to do everything that we can to encourage and maintain the companies that truly care. I can tell you from firsthand experience that Comcast truly cares.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

At the Houston Area Urban League, Inc. (Urban League), we are proud to affiliate with organization, whether for profit or non-profit, that work to create a more equitable society. The mission of the Urban League is to enable African-American and other minorities to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights. We partner with Comcast because their work as servants in the community and aim to educate and uplift directly align with our work. I support the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable because I applaud their work on inclusive media and diversity initiatives.

In America, we know that a better education and better resources are integral parts of securing a better career and life. However, many of our black communities statistically, lag behind. To correct this issue, the Urban League developed a STEM education program to help improve the math and science skills of young people of color. Comcast contributes towards this goal with their Internet Essentials program, which works towards the goal of closing the digital divide with discounted broadband for low-income families. If a student qualifies for free or reduced school lunch, the family qualifies to apply for Internet Essentials, which costs less than ten dollars a month. About 30% of Americans are on the wrong side of the digital divide, many of whom live below the poverty line. This program addresses a boundary which puts too many children at an educational disadvantage. If the proposed transaction was approved, Internet Essentials would become available to many more families in need, including our neighbor to the North, Dallas, TX.

In addition to greater broadband adoption in low income communities, Comcast has helped to broaden our initiatives in healthcare and equal opportunity. In 2011, Comcast provided the National Urban League with airtime for the "I Am Empowered" campaign. This campaign called on community members to pledge their support, time and talent to ensure that every American has access to good jobs, a quality education, affordable housing and quality and affordable healthcare. This message would not have been able to be delivered without the help of our friends at Comcast. Furthermore, Comcast employs their digital literacy training in centers across Houston. Here, families can attend free classes on computer basics in order to learn how to best utilize technology for healthcare, education, employment and communication. Comcast also reflects these goals on a personal level, through the commitment of their employees. Every year, Comcast employees donate their time on "Comcast Cares Day," where we have hosted volunteer activities at the Urban League.

At the Urban League, we are empowered to make a difference; to close the digital divide; to build 21st Century communities; and to educate minority communities that are often disenfranchised. We are grateful to Comcast for being a part of this journey to also educate and empower our people.

I am proud to add my name to those who support Comcast Corporation joining with Time Warner Cable. I know that this transaction would only enhance the company's community partnerships and I urge you to approve this agreement.

Dear Chairman,

I am Saundra V. Stokes, Executive Director of the Inclusion Center for Community and Justice. The Inclusion Center is committed to bringing individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds together to increase mutual understanding and respect. The purpose of this letter is to encourage the Commission to approve the Comcast and Time Warner Transaction. Through the transaction, more communities will be able to benefit from the accessibility of our services and continue to enjoy the economic benefits we have seen from Comcast which have been investing in closing the digital divide in many neighborhoods.

The programming that Comcast provides is diverse, offering perspectives from many communities and cultures. Many of the networks on Comcast are independent and minority-owned, and its programming evolves to meet the demand for quality content from not only Hispanic communities but other viewers from an array of diverse backgrounds. Comcast is also committed to employing minorities in its locations throughout Utah, and I understand that the company seeks guidance on its efforts to be an inclusive employer nationwide.

In addition, the Comcast's Internet Essentials program is also needed in many of our marginalized communities that have been particularly hit hard by economic strife. Internet Essentials offers home internet access to families that have children who are eligible to participate in the National School Lunch program. Qualified families receive Internet Access at home for $10 dollars a month, and can purchase a low cost computer through the program.

We appreciate Comcast’s support of organizations such as ours along with many other nonprofits in our state, they are a great community partner. The philanthropic support Comcast provides to surrounding communities helps lessen the financial burdens on families and neighborhoods. Again, I encourage you to approve the Comcast and Time Warner Transaction. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

Independence Blue Cross, one of America's leading health insurers, strongly supports the proposed transaction between Comcast Corporation and Time Warner Cable, Inc. As a fellow corporate citizen of Philadelphia with a 20 year relationship with Comcast, Independence is in a unique position to tell the Commission aoout Comcast's unrivalled commitment to public service. As president and CEO of a company that serves nearly 9 million people nationwide, I think every day about ways in which we can improve the health and lives of those who live in the communities that we serve. Through our decades-long relationship with Comcast, I know that this is of paramount importance to them as well. Permitting this transaction would allow Comcast to help even more people in more communities across our nation.

Leading in the Community

At Independence we care deeply about ensuring that families in low-income communities have access to health coverage and other critical services. This is a value that we share with Comcast. For example, Comcast has dedicated itself to providing internet access to low-income families across America through its Internet Essentials program. In today's economy, having internet access at home is critical. This program brings broadband internet into the homes of over one million low-income Americans, creating greater access to education and employment. The proposed transaction will allow Comcast to deliver this service to more of our citizens, whose future success in our society is partially dependent on reliable internet access in the home.

Championing Corporate Social Responsibility

Comcast is an integral part of our city and our region, partnering with numerous charitable organizations that provide support and assistance to those in need. In fact, the Comcast Foundation has contributed over $145 million to philanthropic causes just in the last 15 years alone. I am confident that if the Commission approves the proposed transaction, Comcast's commitment to public service and philanthropy will only continue to grow, allowing them to reach even more people in more communities all across America.

Promoting Diversity

Another shared value between Independence and Comcast is our commitment to diversity, ensuring that the voices of people from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures are heard throughout America. Comcast celebrates diversity through its hiring practices and numerous charitable efforts, but approval of the proposed transaction with Time Warner will allow it to do so much more. Comcast and Time Warner have committed to supporting ten new cable channels, most minority-owned, giving consumers even more options for enjoying multicultural content that is truly representative of America.

Forging Innovation that Benefits Us All

Like Independence, Comcast has a passion for bold, industry-transforming innovation efforts. Comcast is constantly exploring new, groundbreaking technology that will bring its high-quality services to as many people in as many homes as possible, from urban centers to rural towns. With the promising technological developments in the health care sector, such as electronic medical records and increasing use of informatics, Independence looks forward to collaborating with Comcast, pairing our innovation efforts to fundamentally transform health care, increasing access and quality and lowering costs. Together with Time Warner, Comcast will be able to do even more, bringing new innovations to more Americans and creating a stronger, more reliable national broadband infrastructure that will benefit all of us.

The FCC must determine how the proposed transaction will contribute to the public interest. Independence has partnered with Comcast for over 20 years and we've seen first-hand their commitment to serving our community. Coamcast is such a tremendous champion in Philadelphia and elsewhere that I felt compelled to tell you how strongly I support the company's vision. I urge the Commission to approve the proposed transaction.

Dear Chainnan Wheeler:

This is to express my support of the application for FCC approval of the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

As the leader of a Hawaii-based company whose business is dependent upon a healthy economy, I strongly support measures that will lead to strengthening the telecommunications network in our State. Based upon what I have leamed about Comcast's plans for improving Hawaii 's internet infrastructure through expansion of bandwidth and providing greater internet access to citizens throughout the state, I believe the combination of Comcast and Time Warner Cable will facilitate such an outcome.

Because of Hawaii's geographic isolation and with a population dispersed over six non-contiguous islands, operating in this state poses a unique set of challenges for internet providers. Comcast, however, has the financial capacity and long-term vision necessary to make the significant investments required to upgrade the technological resources required to deliver and maintain levels of internet service that will keep Hawaii economic competitiveness on a par with other communities around our nation and the world.

I am particularly impressed with Comcast's experience in expanding access to internet services for low income families through its Internet Essentials program which offers discount internet service. If Comcast can provide low cost access to the estimated 28.5% of our population who currently lack such service, it would be a huge boon to our community. The impact of providing such a large segment of our population with internet service would have tremendous ramifications educationally, economically, and in so many other positive ways.

I therefore believe that the combined Comcast-Time Warner enterprise will bring needed investments and new opportunities for growth to Hawaii's economy. I hope the FCC will speedily approve this transaction so the benefits it offers to our State can be soon realized.

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Through my time with the NAACP lllinois Conference of Branches, we've all worked toward the goal of ending racial discrimination and bias, including inequality in jobs, education and opportunity. I'm currently the president of the Kankakee branch and have had the great pleasure of working with Comcast in supporting these goals. I support the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable in hopes that other communities across the nation will be able to have the benefit of Comcast's partnership.

Comcast is genuinely committed to fostering a diverse employee base. The company has been recognized by organizations like DiversityBusiness.com, Equal Opportunity Magazine, and Diversity Inc. for being a top organization to work for. On a national level, the NAACP praises companies that understand the importance of minority outreach in employee recruitment. Diversity is more than ethnicity - it is also important for unique perspectives and ideas in the workplace. We can confront injustice by supporting companies like Comcast, in turn encouraging corporations across the country to get serious about their dedication to diversity. If the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable is approved, it will carry these practices on to a larger footprint across the country.

Together with Comcast, the Kankakee County NAACP has worked to promote the Internet Essentials program, which provides low cost broadband services to low income families. Greater broadband adoption directly impacts minority communities, and empowers our children through technology. Today a child without computer and Internet access at home is put at a great disadvantage, making it harder to learn outside the classroom. Equal opportunity to education is a right every child should have, no matter their ethnic or income background. Internet Essentials has connected over 350,000 families across the nation who otherwise might not have been able to afford it. In Illinois, I understand that around 40,000 families have been connected.

116

I know the possibility for positive impact of this program could be so much more. I believe that the expanded offering of this program is one of the greatest reasons for approval of the proposed transaction between Time Warner Cable and Comcast so that this program can touch the lives of more families across the nation, in ways that it has right here in Kankakee.

The Kankakee NAACP has been lucky to have Comcast as a partner through its initiatives that improve life for African Americans.

I believe in the positive impact of Comcast, and encourage the approval of the Time Warner Cable transaction.

Sincerely,

RE: Letter of Support Comcast Cable/Time Warner Cable

Dear Sir or Madam:

Las Cruces, New Mexico houses the second largest public school district in the state, representing 39 schools, approximately 25,000 students, and 3,800 employees. The Las Cruces Public School District is supported by the Las Cruces Public Schools Foundation, a private, non-profit corporation, with a mission to raise funds, provide financial help for student centered projects, and improve the quality of classroom learning experiences.

It has come to my attention that the Federal Communications Commission is currently reviewing Comcast Cable's proposed merger with Time Warner Cable. I write you today in support of the proposed merger. As Superintendent of Schools for the Las Cruces Public School District, I have experienced firsthand the commitment that Comcast Cable has shown toward improving our communities and schools.

One of the most concrete ways that Comcast Cable has shown its commitment has been the annual Comcast Cares Day. 1 have read that Comcast Cares Day is the nation's largest single day corporate volunteer event. I am proud to say, Las Cruces Public Schools held the nation's most attended Comcast Cares Day. in 2013. Held at Doña Ana Elementary School, Comcast and its partners were able to attract 1,500 volunteers, which was the largest number of volunteers at any Comcast Cares Day event in 2013. As Las Cruces is in a Comcast Cable market, we are able to enjoy the benefits that come with a company so invested in community involvement. If Comeast Cable were to merge with Time Warner Cable, the Comcast Cares Day event would reach new school districts near and far.

I would also like to commend the tremendous efforts Comcast Cable has made over the last four years to bridge the digital divide and bring broadband to more of our students. In 2011, John Christopher, New Mexico State Director for Comcast Cable, announced the launch of Internet Essentials, a program that offers discounted Internet service to low-income families. Today, Internet access is an essential and basic requirement for a successful education, as we work to

118

	take our curriculums online, and make them instantly accessible from anywhere. Since the 2011 launch of that program, Comcast Cable has experienced exponential growth, and has connected more than 7,000 families in New Mexico to the Internet. Each year there is an increase of families that enroll in the program. Comcast Cable is leveling the playing field so that all our students can have the resources they need to thrive and succeed. If Comcast Cable were to merge with Time Warner Cable, the Internet Essentials program would be able to reach many more students in cities like El Paso, Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York, and would be able to take a large step in decreasing the digital divide. Children in New Mexico and communities across the nation deserve equal access to the tools and opportunities that give them the best chances of succeeding and becoming leaders. I know that Comcast Cable has made this one of its main goals, as it recently announced the indefinite extension of Internet Essentials. If a merger between Comcast Cable and Time Warner Cable means that all our students will be supplied with the tools needed for success in today's electronic age, then I support that merger, and I hope that you will too.

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

I am writing from the Florida-based Latin American Business Association (LABA) to comment on the proposed Comcast and Time Warner Cable transaction.

Comcast has been a very important community partner in the activities that we do to advocate for our 500-plus members on a regional to international level. We respectfully request that you approve this proposal to encourage the growth of partnerships like ours.

The LABA is one of many organizations to have a long-standing and fruitful relationship with Comcast since its arrival in the telecommunications marketplace. Many Comcast executives hold positions on local boards.

This type of commitment is not unusual for Comcast. Their volunteers are more than figureheads - they get things done when it comes to building business connections and leading and volunteering for community improvement projects.

Comcast has also worked very hard to reach out to low-income families who have no computer or Internet service. Its Internet Essentials program started in 2011 and, within just three years, was able to get quality affordable web service into more than 26,000 homes in the Miami region.

The company has longstanding hiring practices that have led to diversity within its staff, managers and top executives. We consider Comcast programming to be very progressive in terms of diversity. It has more Spanish language channels than any other network.

Obviously, one of the most important things for us, as an agency with national and international partners, is Comcast's high-speed connectivity and its advanced network that is capable of handling our ever-changing demands for capacity and custom services.

Comcast has proven itself to be a company that businesses and families can rely on. It is a company that settles into communities and takes an active role in improving things. Please give this proposal the approval it deserves.

Sincerely,

/s/ William J Delgado

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear Chairman Wheeler and Commissioners:

We write to you today from one of the only publications in the country to cover public policy and politics from a specifically Latino perspective. We keep our ears close to the ground, and are intimately acquainted with the challenges and opportunities facing our community in the public sphere.

As you know, Hispanics make up 16.3% of America’s population, or 52 million, and represent America’s largest minority group. Moreover, the rate of growth of the Hispanic community in America will reach 25% within the next generation. That is a fast clip that has daunting implications to America’s communication and cable sytems.

Comcast is a company with a weighty record of collaboration with diverse communities. We understand that their partnerships could expand to the substantial Latino communities of Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York upon approval of the proposed Comcast-Time Warner transaction. Please approve this transaction to help ensure the company's continued devotion to Latinos and people of color nationwide.

When diverse viewers tune into Comcast's cable coverage, they can count on a wide array of programs that highlight our country's diversity. The company is America's largest provider of Spanish cable networks. They offer over 60 dedicated channels, including independent channels created by Hispanic talent, like BabyFirst Americas and El Rey. We understand that Comcast offers more than 160 independent channels, many of them minority-owned. The company has announced plans to add 10 new independent networks following approval of this transaction. We are hopeful that the company will continue to deepen its dedication to the promotion of multicultural talent.

Comcast hires and develops Latino and minority business leaders to deliver their world-class cable and broadband service. We understand that since 2011, Comcast has increased the number of people at and above the VP level over 30%. People of color already make up nearly 20% of the company's upper level management. These established and emerging leaders are committed to excellent supplier contracts from diverse sources. Comcast spent over a billion dollars on diverse top-tier suppliers last year. Comcast has increased spending with minority-owned suppliers and vendors by about 20% since 2011. We are hopeful that this cultivation of vibrant business leadership will enrich our country for years to come.

121

Comcast's vision of an inclusive future shines forth in its efforts to close the digital divide in Internet access between rich and poor. Without home access, young people and families miss out on essential educational and professional opportunities. Comcast's Internet Essentials program has already connected over a million Americans to low-cost home Web service and discounted computer hardware.

Many Latinos unfortunately live in our nation's most underserved urban centers. We understand that Comcast has indefinitely expanded the Essentials program. The number of eligible low-income families will only get bigger following the extension of Comcast service upon approval of the transaction.

Please approve this transaction to give our current and future leaders the tools and networks they need to succeed throughout the country and throughout this century.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jose L. Perez

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

On behalf of the Latinos in Information Sciences and Technology Association (LISTA), I would like to express our support for the proposed Comcast - Time Warner Cable transaction.

The goal of LISTA is to empower Latino technological and scientific engagement, broaden awareness of the impact Latinos are currently having on these sectors, and represent their overall interests in the digital information age. The thriving technology industry is the future for our country and our community.

At LISTA, we are committed to supporting Latinos who work in the science, health informatics, mathematics, information sciences, new media, telecommunications and technology sectors. Latinos need to grow and evolve in this sector for the U.S. workforce to remain competitive.

When I co-founded LISTA in 2000, I envisioned working with organizations and companies, like Comcast, that not only incorporate diversity and inclusion programs in their business model, but also appreciate the importance of diversity within the industry. LISTA has a strong history of collaboration with Comcast to increase Latinos participation in the workforce, and we are confident that Comcast will continue build upon its record of diversity within its workforce. We admire the work that Comcast has done to increase diversity in the industry, both internally within the company and externally with suppliers.

In addition to its commitment to a diverse workforce, Comcast has demonstrated a commitment to upgrading and modernizing the broadband networks in the areas it would acquire in the proposed transaction with Time Warner Cable, and this would provide meaningful benefits to those communities.

LISTA Mission has always been to educate, motivate and encourage the use of technology for the empowerment of the Latino community in order to conquer the digital divide. LISTA strongly believes that providing education, mentoring, business networking and services that enhance personal growth are the keys to providing professionals, executives, entrepreneurs and students with a pathway from the schoolroom to the boardroom.

LISTA partnership with Comcast’s Internet Essentials initiative, the largest broadband adoption program in the country, is why we recommend this merger happens simply put it goes hand-in-hand with our philosophy and is a step in the right direction towards shrinking the digital divide. Approval of the transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable would enable Internet Essentials to have even greater reach and more success throughout the country.

Through Internet Essentials, LISTA has helped thousands of families in Atlanta, New York, Sacramento and Washington, DC and shown them the benefits of broadband as they obtain digital literacy skills to write resumes, access education information and apply for college, as well as start small businesses.

I hope that the Commission takes the work that Comcast has done to promote diversity within the industry into consideration when evaluating the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Cordially,

/s/ Jose A. Marquez

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

Funding for nonprofits is getting tighter and tighter. As the Resource Development & Marketing Director for Lawrence CommunityWorks, I see firsthand the struggle to continue our mission of revitalizing our city. When we need assistance, we can turn to Comcast, and for that reason I am writing today to ask the FCC to approve the pending transaction with Time Warner Cable.

Comcast has been dedicated in finding a way to support organizations like mine. Lawrence CommunityWorks was founded by affordable housing activists, and we are still committed to affordable housing, but we have expanded our mission to include building community, enhancing civic engagement and engaging in collective action for the common good.

The Movement City Youth program is one of our most successful programs. We provide academic support for young people plus different avenues to participate in and experience creative arts and technology. Comcast has become one of the leading sponsors of this program, aimed largely at disadvantaged youth. Our summer program this year included a Theater and Improv Camp, a Sports Camp and a Young Inventors Camp. Applications for these camps increase every year, and we are very grateful for Comcast’s support.

Lawrence is also a site for Comcast Cares Day. A record number of volunteers, largely drawn from Comcast employees, their family members and friends, worked at 50 sites doing beautification projects ranging from trash pick up to painting to landscaping. It was an awe-inspiring day.

We need community partners like Comcast to revitalize our city. We are happy to have Comcast in our corner. I cannot help but feel that if Comcast extends its basic services into new areas, it will extend its philanthropy as well. Please approve the transaction with Time Warner Cable.

Kind regards,

RE: MB Docket No. 14-57

Dear, Chairman Wheeler:

For the past 5 years, I have served as Vice President and COO of Leadership Greater Washington. I served in that position alongside Tim Kime who, until very recently, was the President and CEO for the last 14 years. Leadership Greater Washington is a community leadership organization devoted to identifying and connecting diverse leaders and stimulating their collaborative efforts through dynamic education and membership programs that promote dialogue, cooperation and involvement, enabling area leaders to find effective solutions to regional challenges.

It has come to my attention that the Federal Communications Commission is currently reviewing the proposed transaction between Comcast and Time Warner Cable Company. I write this letter to voice my support for Comcast and the proposed transaction. In the time I spent at the helm of Leadership Greater Washington, I interacted with Comcast on several levels, and can personally attest to Comcast's commitment to community investment and building tomorrows leaders.

Last year, in 2013, Comcast supported the Youth Leadership Greater Washington career development and community awareness program for high school sophomores and juniors. The six-month program offers instruction on public speaking, interviewing, financial management, dressing for success and securing internships. Comcast even sent two executives to the program to teach basic networking skills to one of our classes.

Comcast's involvement with Leadership Greater Washington represents only a fraction of the community involvement the company has committed to in the D.C. area. Comcast's tireless efforts to decrease the digital divide; expand digital literacy; promote leadership in classrooms, communities, and businesses; and make broadband adoption a feasible goal have had an enormous impact on the area, and I expect the company to continue to broaden the scope of its philanthropic work as time goes on. The proposed transaction I write you in favor of today will only increase Comcast's reach to many more citizens.

As the interim CEO, I look forward to continuing the supportive longstanding relationship with Comcast. It is of vital importance for our community that Comcast continues the philanthropic work it has devoted itself to, and I am confident that it will do so. The proposed transaction, if accepted, will only foster its ability to become a stronger community partner.

Sincerely,

/s/ Mioshi Moses

Dear Chairman Wheeler:

We write to you today from the largest Mexican community In the Midwest. Little Village is home to more than 1,000 businesses in Chicago's West Side. We at the Little VIllage Chamber of Commerce work to promote our vibrant neighborhood's business community through advocacy, training, and commercial development. Comcast has been a dedicated community partner that supports our residents and their ideas, whether they are rich or poor, young or old, Spanish- or English-speaking.

We urge you to approve the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable transaction because it will extend the power of Comcast's business and community collaborations to new communities across the country .

Comcast's enterprise services and cable offerings enable our Chamber's businesses to meet the challenges of our diverse community and country. We understand that Comcast home and business broadband speed is substantially faster than that of competitors at similar tiers of service, including Time Warner Cable. In a city as diverse as ours, businesses need to know who their clients are and where to reach them. Comcast's current and future proposed advertising programs will offer businesses the ability to market to customers with the highest levels of precision, whether the business is a taqueria on 26th Street or a Fortune 500 company. Their industry-leading addressable advertising and digital ad insertion programs enable businesses to connect to the right client base and customers to find services they need on their communities.

These services for business exist alongside services for average cable customers. In our community, many citizens are most comfortable speaking and working with Spanish in their everyday lives. Comcast is the largest provider of Spanish language networks on the country. They also offer more than 160 independent networks, giving Comcast customers easy access to programming tailored to their interests and communities, even in neighborhoods as diverse as the Little Village.

126

The company also has devoted resources to programs that will benefit the Little Village for years to come. Comcast has vigorously deployed its Internet Essentials program in Chicago. Over 30,000 families have already connected to low-cost home Internet services and the opportunity for free training and discounted computer hardware. The children in these families will now be empowered with the technology they need to carry their educations and visions for the future forward in our digital economy. This program builds off of Comcast's more typical community investment. Community programs like Digital Connectors and Comcast Cares Day link residents, businesses, community organizations, and employees to build a more prosperous future city, together.

More communities across the nation will benefit from their association wtlh Comcast if the proposed transaction is allowed to happen. Please grant your approval to make that possible.

Sincerely,
