Comcast Going Global

"Comcast Corp. is ready to take on the planet," after many years of buying up cable companies and last year's acquisition of major media company NBC Universal, according to Bob Fernandez' interview with Comcast CEO Brian Roberts.
The company's global strategy "won't come in the traditional Comcast way, through the acquisition of hard-line cable-TV systems," but through licensing entertainment content overseas, writes Fernandez.
According to an analyst, "the key question is how much of NBCU's original content can be exported and dubbed to a foreign language at a minimal cost for a high-margin return."
