Some advocacy groups in California want the state to tack on more conditions if it approves Charter’s $34.5 billion acquisition of Cox Communications.  

The Utility Reform Network joined the other advocacy groups in asking for more stringent affordability conditions if the CPUC approves the deal. CalAdvocates and CETF defended their settlement agreements and said their terms were enough to mitigate potential consumer harms from the increased consolidation.
