With new iPhone releases and exploding Samsung batteries, it seems like mobile phones have been on everyone’s minds these days. Comcast showed that they, too, have mobile devices on the brain by announcing that they will launch their own MVNO cellular service. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts revealed during an investor conference yesterday that the Comcast “network” will launch by mid-2017.
This announcement isn’t much of a surprise. There have been rumors for awhile now that Comcast was going to be launching its own cellular service. The fact that Comcast and Verizon have been partners since 2012 was also a clear indicator that the company would be dabbling in mobile services sooner or later.
