Advocating for America’s Small Business Community

The USHBC Supports the Charter–Cox Merger

California is home to 4.3 million small businesses, representing 99.8% of all businesses statewide. 

For California businesses, reliable internet is the backbone of connectivity infrastructure, from processing payments to serving customers, your business depends on a connection that is affordable and works.

The USHBC supports the proposed Charter-Cox merger as a major step toward:

  • Increased affordability for communities

  • Stronger network reliability

  • More competitive choices for YOU

The fate of this deal is in the CPUC’s hands and needs approval by August 2026. If not, it fails. Help secure the future of California’s connectivity by telling the CPUC that this deal helps businesses and needs quick approval.
