The FCC decided recently that it needed to stop the 180-day shot clock in its review of the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable and related spin-offs involving Charter.

Significantly, WFS analyst Marci Ryvicker believes the shot clock stop in no way signals the FCC’s reluctance to disallow the merger.
