Cable TV provider plans its own wireless network

 

            This article is talking about the every growing wireless network.  Cox communications one of the largest cable television providers is planning on spending $550 million on a brand new wireless network.  Cox communications will be in competition with such companies as verizon and at&t. 

            This is a huge branch out for Cox Communications; this will bring a ton of business to them.  They already have phone, Internet, and cable television.  They are talking about turning this into the newest fiber optics out there.  They want to be able to offer their costumers a whole package deal.  This will attract a ton of people to switch from satellite to cable.  This is just to get everyone’s bills all on one bill, and to attract people to a different service in their area so they do not have to just have one option with at&t or verizon.  I cannot believe Cox Communication is going to finally make the jump into the wireless world.  Their stock is going to skyrocket, what is going to be interesting is at&t and verizon are both branching out as well.  They are both adding fiber optic cable TV to their companies.  This means all three companies, at&t, verizon, and Cox communications will offer all three home services.  This is going to be good for the consumer since it will bring competition to the market, meaning lower prices and better quality product.

            Like I said in the end, this is going to benefit us tremendously.  We will see the effects when the three companies get all set up.  It should be interesting to see how much the prices are going to be for all three services.  I cannot wait till this comes out, technology is great, and I love how it is never ending in growing.
