Charter's New Wireless Service "Spectrum Mobile" Increases Competition


Last month, Charter Communications launched a new mobile wireless broadband service, Spectrum Mobile. Spectrum Mobile’s unlimited data plan starts at just $45 a month. Consumers will enjoy the benefits of over $27 billion in technology and infrastructure invested by Charter since 2014. Spectrum Mobile consumers who also use Charter’s fixed broadband service will enjoy high-speed connections at home and on the go.
This new wireless offering solidifies Charter as one of the leaders in both wireline and wireless broadband, and it spurs further competition in the broadband market. Charter joins Comcast as the other major cable provider to enter into the mobile wireless market. This benefits consumers by putting downward pressure on wireless prices and by encouraging additional network investment from wireless competitors.
