  9. Comcast's Brian Roberts on why no break-up fee. "I guess GE didn't want to pay us one."
  10. Comcast's Brian Roberts wants DVD window and cable window to be similar if not same. Zucker adds that is consistent with what NBC U thinks.
  11. Jeff Zucker says talking about Hulu not something company wants to do right now. Look at whether subscription makes sense in months ahead.

  13. NBC U's Jeff Zucker says company will take a hard look at Olympics for 2014 and 2016 but only do it if it makes real economic sense.
  14. Sports question about going after ESPN. Comcast's Steve Burke says ESPN is "amazing" and idea we will take on is "overly simplistic."
  15. Comcast's Brian Roberts says he hopes conditions on NBC Universal deal (which he expects) will be appropriate. He looks forward to review.

  18. @davidfolkenflik no, don't think anyone did.
  19. Comcast's Brian Roberts: Time Warner is not relevant to what we are doing. In one transaction, combined company is 82% cable channels.
  20. @pkafka Well, it certainly seems Dick Ebersol is safe. Guess Comcast is over getting smacked by him on that Olympic Cable Channel.
