Time-Warner and Cox et al are announcing new spending of big bux on WiFi hotspot expansion. Seamless, they say.
As this scale grows, to public and private spaces, I wonder if Verizon/AT&T will start to lose significant revenue to WiFi?
It could also be that today, many non-techies don't know how to ensure their smart phone service could cost a lot less (lower data cap plans).
Cable Co's were/are installing access points connected to the cable co's cable for backhaul. Cisco spent a lot getting products for this, as have others.
It's a curious future.
I'm in the camp that says that the US Gov should oppose the takeover of Time Warner Cable for anti-trust reasons. But fer sure, the lobbyists will see that it happens. Time Warner Inc. spun out the cable business some time back. Must mean it's too low profit vs. selling content where there's no fixed costs for a network's O&M.
