Behrend, et al. v. Comcast Corporation
Our expert was retained on behalf of the defendant, Comcast, in this antitrust class action in which the plaintiffs alleged that the company violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act by entering into and implementing agreements with competitors to exchange or swap their respective cable television assets; entering into and implementing agreements with competitors to allocate territories, markets, and customers through the swapping of cable television subscribers; refusing to provide access to local sports programming; interfering with a competitor’s access to contractors needed by the competitor to build rival cable television facilities and systems; and engaging in anticompetitive targeted pricing and sales practices aimed at areas in which Comcast could face potential competition.
