The cable industry is also concerned about the "unexpected impact of increased competition" on cable-and-television revenues and profits given that the cable industry has long sought to expand its reach around the country.

The cable company faces a $5.2 billion (US$6 billion) legal battle over its plans to build a new cable line in New York City and to offer its customers broadband service by the end of 2017.

The girl's mother said O'Connell then told her she was "a hot girl" and was "making love to you again".

She said the boy was then contacted by friends asking for help, and that he "went into a
