Anti-Trust Case Against Comcast

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a national antitrust class
action pending against Comcast in federal court in Philadelphia, Judge Anita
B. Brody has appointed Pennsylvania's RodaNast, PC as Lead Counsel.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation recently transferred the cases
to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and assigned them to Judge Brody.
(In re Comcast Corp. Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation, MDL
No. 2034).

The case is brought on behalf of people who purchased premium or digital cable
services from Comcast. The Comcast Complaints collectively allege that
Comcast has a monopoly in areas where it provides cable television services.
In many locations, Comcast cable television subscribers have no choice but to
contract with Comcast for cable television services, the plaintiffs allege.

The complaints allege that Comcast's premium or digital cable customers have
to pay a separate fee to rent a cable box or set-top box to enable customers
to view cable TV.

Comcast's actions constitute an unlawful tying arrangement resulting in an
impermissible restraint of trade, in violation of both state and federal law,
according to the allegations of the Complaints.

Judge Brody also appointed Mellon, Webster & Shelly as Liaison Counsel.
Appointed Steering Committee members include Bailey & Glasser LLP, Becnel Law
Firm, The Bell Law Firm, PLLC, Devereux Murphy LLC, Edgar Law Firm LLC, Foote,
Meyers, Mielke & Flowers, LLC, Gustafson Gluek PLLC, Silverman & Fodera,
Sweetnam LLC, Wexler Wallace LLP, Whatley Drake & Kallas, LLC, and Wiggins,
Childs, Quinn & Pantazis, LLC.
