In May Charter announced it would acquire Falcon Cable TV of Los Angeles for $3.6 billion. The deal would give Charter a total of about five million subscribers and move it up in the rankings from fifth to fourth largest MSO. Falcon was the eighth largest cable operator in the United States with about one million subscribers in 27 states in primarily non-urban areas. It was Charter's ninth acquisition of 1999, and certainly not its last.

Following his purchase of Marcus Cable, Allen bought Charter for $4.5 billion, or about $3,800 per subscriber. Allen's interest in cable properties may have been spurred by Bill Gates's $1 billion investment in 1997 in Comcast. Both Gates and Allen had developed a vision of a 'wired world,' when everyone would have a PC at home and at work and be connected by a global network. Cable was now perceived as the best way of implementing that vision by delivering high-speed services over the Internet into American homes.

Charter ... finds itself in the middle of a highly controversial Supreme Court case revolving around the question of whether "secondary actors" like banks and other vendors can be held liable for the misdeeds of their corporate clients. The suit alleges that Charter vendors took part in a sham transaction by the cable company involving behind-the-scenes dealings. The vendors included Motorola and Scientific-Atlanta (now owned by Cisco).
