Page "Cable television" Paragraph 44

More recently, several US cable operators have begun offering wireless services to their subscribers.

Most notably was the September 2008 launch of Optimum Wi-Fi by Cablevision.

This service is made available, at no additional cost, to Optimum Broadband subscribers, and is available at over 14, 000 locations across Long Island, NY, parts of NJ and CT. Cablevision has reported a double digit reduction in subscriber churn since launching Optimum Wi-Fi, even as Verizon has rolled out FiOS, a competitive residential broadband service in the Cablevision footprint.

Other Tier 1 cable operators, including Comcast, have announced trials of a similar service in sections of the US Northeast.
