Cox Communications plans to rock the wireless phone business Monday by unveiling plans to launch cellphone service in the second half of 2009 that ultimately will make the No. 3 cable operator a rival of AT&T, Sprint Nextel and Verizon.
"We've spent $500 million buying wireless capacity in our markets," President Pat Esser says. "Now, we're going to turn it on."
According to USAToday, "It's the most ambitious effort yet by a cable operator to bundle wireless phones with TV, Internet and land-line phone services. Operators have long seen cellphones as an important weapon to compete with AT&T and Verizon, which are rolling out TV services that compete with cable's core video business."
I hate COX. They have as terrible customer service as Comcast if not worse. I had COX cable/internet and was so happy when I switched to Directv for television (still have internet as no other companies are allowed in that aren't DSL).
I have high doubts.
