Comcast Chairman Brian Roberts said Thursday (Feb. 4) that the company is willing to talk with the FCC about Comcast abiding by program access conditions on the proposed Comcast/NBCU deal, even if the program access rules are overturned by the courts.

That came in testimony before the House Communications & Internet Subcommittee, which is vetting the deal.

Some merger opponents have pointed out that Comcast has challenged those program access rules.
