New York

REPRESENTATIVES of Comcast Corp and Time Warner Cable Inc are preparing to meet US Department of Justice officials to discuss competition concerns raised by the planned US$45 billion merger of the two cable giants, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has reported.

The meeting on Wednesday would aim to negotiate possible concessions addressing those concerns, WSJ said, citing people familiar with the matter. The paper said it would be the first time the two cable giants have met with regulators since announcing their proposed deal a year ago.
