Streaming: Peacock Merging With HBO Max?

I've been hearing through various sources that HBO Max and the Peacock streaming service could end up merging into a single streaming service. Does this mean that Peacock is becoming an "across the board' paid streaming service?

The news that has come out is that WarnerMedia and Comcast could merge into one service to compete against Disney. How does that work and will Comcast subscribers be seeing a charge for the streaming service?
