Two of the largest cable companies in the US will work together to compete with other giants on providing wireless services.
Comcast and Charter hope their combined size will help them to negotiate better contracts that in turn would mean they can provide their customers with more choice, more products and more competitive prices.
The two companies already have agreements in place with Verizon that let them resell its wireless services in their respective regions. In April, for instance, Comcast unveiled Xfinity Mobile, a wireless service expected to launch in the middle of the year, running on Verizon’s network under a reseller agreement.
