Chief Legal Counsel From: Board of Directors Re: Potential M&A Targets 

Growth seems to be an important goal to provide return to our shareholders. We would like to identify potential merger prospects in order to grow Time Warner Cable's reach and market power. However, a merger with Comcast was challenged by the Department of Justice on the basis that it might have been anti-competitive.

Please put together a brief memo outlining some of the concerns that were raised with the proposed 2015 merger between Comcast and Time Warner. In what ways was the government concerned that competition would be diminished? How might the merger have increased value to our customers and shareholders?

Then, put together a short list of two or three potential targets for merger or acquisition. What advantages would each company bring Time Warner Cable?
