Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros

> Combination Will Offer More Choice and Greater Value for Consumers, Create More Opportunities for the Creative Community and Generate Shareholder Value

No doubt about the last part, but how does merging two giants create "More Choice"? I know corporate double-speak is already out of control and I know they're writing whatever they can do avoid regulators who surely are looking into the acquisition, but surely these executives cannot believe acquisitions lead to more choice, right?

Interesting, that will bring a big production house capabilities within Netflix itself

So they can raise the prices again in a few months?

I wonder if an antitrust suit will be filed, this seems like a pretty significant acquisition.

Considering the words they're using across the announcement, it seems they're well aware what this will trigger, everything seems carefully chosen so someone can later point at this announcement and say "See, we think this will add MORE user choice, not less, which is good for competition!".

This wasn’t on my radar at all. Was this kept quiet or did I just not hear about it?
