IANAL but my understanding is that bundling is only an antitrust violation when you have a monopoly. They were already offering cable/internet bundles in these areas with cost savings, so I don't see how this changes anything from the antitrust standpoint.

They are a monopoly in many areas
maybe in some areas, but where they're doing this in Oregon/SW Washington, they have enough competition to not be considered a monopoly.

so, in these specific cases, it probably doesn't apply.
