Time Warner Cable is a partner with Comcast, Cablevision, Cox Communications and Bright House Networks in a public hotspot network of about 50,000 locations, and now is adding WeFi service as well. Time Warner invested in WeFi early in 2012.
Though cable operators have not been able to really figure out how to create a big mobile communications business, the current effort aims to extend use of fixed connections inside and outside the Time Warner network footprint.
Untethered communications, inside or outside the network footprint, is part of the strategy. In fact, in many cases a mobile phone uses a Wi-Fi connection more than the mobile network.
