United States ISPs have agreed to a “six strike” program to deal with online copyright infringement. Companies in the deal include AT&T, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable, Comcast and Verizon. Ars Technica reports that the warning system operates solely between the ISP and the subscriber, and that ISPs will only release guilty subscribers’ information with a court order.

Cablevision announced that they will be paying over $1.36 billion for cable services operator company Bresnan Communications.  One of Bresnan Communications owners include Providence Equity Partners and Quadrangle Group.  The deal is all-cash.  Cablevision beat other companies at the acquisition.  Another bidder included Suddenlink Communications.
