All the followings from BWNG will contribute to Comcast or any MSO's business development significantly:

o A national optical backbone with 800 gbps capacity (Comcast has been buying dark fiber and bandwidth from Level 3 for their VOD services and video distributions.)

o Broadwing's HDTV video distribution network and strong tie with Intersat.

o More than 130k enterprise customers including 9 out of 10 Fortune 10 customers.

o Best converged networks with the best enterprise Ethernet, MPLS networks and VPN (both Layer 2 and Layer 3) technologies and technological know-how, which Comcast desparately needs.

o $1+ billion tax loss forwarding credit.

I have been wondering why cable companies such as Comcast haven't take action so far in acquiring a CLEC carrier such as Broadwing, which is a perfect match for Comcast's strategy.

Just bad chemistry?
