1Opinion of the Court
LIPEZ, Circuit Judge.
This appeal requires us to evaluate the enforceability of arbitration agreements that Comcast, a cable television provider, invoked against a group of its subscribers, who have sued it for violations of state and federal antitrust laws. Concluding that the arbitration agreements did not have retroactive effect, the district court ruled that the subscribers could not be compelled to arbitrate their antitrust claims. In so ruling, the district court did not have to reach a number of other issues raised by the subscribers in opposition to Com-cast’s demand for arbitration.
