Charter Communications followed Comcast’s lead and has also disclosed plans to offer wireless service in the future.
Charter’s offering will mirror that of Comcast’s. Charter has an agreement with Verizon Wireless that allows it to sell access to Verizon’s network as a wholesaler. Charter will combine that with a network of WiFi access points to provide its cable TV customers with wireless service.
Charter believes the wireless offer could convince more consumers to subscribe to its cable TV products.
Charter did not say when such a service might launch. Comcast said it plans to launch its wireless service by the middle of 2017.
