Publishing timestamp: 2023-01-05 05:02:01
Summary
Cox Communications, a privately held cable and internet company, is launching its mobile business nationally on Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show. This follows other publicly traded companies like Comcast, Charter Communications, and Altice USA, who have been adding customers for their mobile services at a fast clip. Cable companies are offering mobile services to give customers another reason not to leave their broadband plans, as they have been losing pay-TV customers who opt for streaming-only services. Smaller cable operators are also seeing value in offering mobile plans to customers, and the National Content and Technology Cooperative (NCTC) is in discussions to create a mobile offering for its members.
