Comcast Said to Consider Bid for Time Warner Cable

Comcast Corp. is weighing a bid for Time Warner Cable Inc., a deal that would unify the largest cable providers in the U.S., according to two people with knowledge of the situation.

Comcast doesn’t see insurmountable regulatory obstacles to the transaction, since the companies don’t overlap in many regions, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. The two companies have held some talks, though the process is in the early stages, the other person said.
