Comcast's Carriage-Fee Impasse (With Itself) Has Implications for the Entire Cable TV Industry

On the surface it just looks like more bickering between a cable television company and the owner of a cable channel. The impasse cable giant Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) is presently grappling with, however, is a bit unusual. That's because the company's Xfinity cable brand has yet to come to pricing terms with NBC, which is also owned by Comcast.

You read that right: One Comcast unit is struggling to strike a deal with another Comcast unit.

Even investors without a stake in Comcast will want to keep close tabs on the story, since it could potentially affect all cable names and content creators.
