Cable giant is close to scoring quadruple play
Article Abstract:
Time Warner Cable and Sprint Corp. are said to be considering an alliance that would allow the cable operator to offer cell phone services. Such a partnership would give the two telecommunications companies the ability to provide cable television services, high-speed Internet access, and both wired and wireless telephone services in one package, rather than requiring consumers to purchase such services separately. Potentially, such "bundled" services could mean more competitive pricing and a market advantage for companies.
