Sides have "productive dialogue" after NY revoked approval of Charter/TWC merger.
By Jon Brodkin
Now six weeks after New York government officials ordered Charter Communications to leave the state, Charter has received two deadline extensions and is trying to negotiate a deal that would let it keep operating in New York.
The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) voted on July 27 to revoke its approval of Charter's 2016 purchase of Time Warner Cable (TWC) and gave Charter 60 days to file a plan for transferring the network to another provider. New York alleges that Charter hasn't expanded its network enough to meet broadband deployment requirements that it agreed to in order to get the merger approved. Charter claims it has met the requirements, and it vowed to fight the order to leave the state.
