Charter Communications and Comcast have entered into a multi-year exclusive agreement with T-Mobile to provide mobile services to business customers across the United States. This partnership will leverage T-Mobile's advanced network under a long-term Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) agreement, enhancing Charter and Comcast's prominence in both wireline and wireless services. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
The agreement, set to launch in 2026, will allow Charter and Comcast to expand their wireless offerings supported by the nation's largest and fastest broadband and WiFi networks. Mobile services will be offered under the Spectrum Mobile for Business and Comcast Business Mobile brands, respectively.
Omar Tazi, T-Mobile's EVP and Chief Product and Digital Officer, stated, "T-Mobile is pleased to work with Charter and Comcast to deliver their U.S. business customers connectivity on the mobile network with more new customer growth than any other network over the past five years. This partnership complements what our T-Mobile for Business group already offers and expands the reach of T-Mobile's network to even more business customers beyond those we currently serve."
Edward Zimmermann, President of Comcast Business, added, "Comcast Business delivers advanced, converged solutions to business customers by uniting the scale of our nationwide WiFi network, gig-plus speeds, and the integration of top-tier 5G mobile capabilities. Our capital-light partnership with T-Mobile further strengthens our growth strategy in wireless for business customers and provides them exceptional value."
Danny Bowman, Executive Vice President of Product at Charter Communications, noted, "Spectrum Mobile for Business offers a truly converged connectivity experience, combining gig-powered internet and superior WiFi service with a premium 5G mobile network. This partnership with T-Mobile will allow us to rapidly and cost-effectively bring even more value to our Spectrum Mobile business customers."
Through their mobile businesses, Comcast and Charter have collectively grown to more than 18 million residential and business mobile lines since they introduced their services in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Charter and Comcast will continue to develop wireless business solutions using the best of in-home WiFi, out-of-home WiFi, proprietary 5G cellular networks leveraging CBRS spectrum, and now multiple MVNO cellular networks.
This new agreement will focus solely on providing wholesale mobile connectivity to Charter's and Comcast's business customers. Charter and Comcast's existing long-term MVNO partnership will continue to support residential and current business customers.
The partnership underscores how cable giants are seeking new growth opportunities by expanding into the business wireless market. As competition in broadband and pay TV intensifies, this strategic move highlights Charter and Comcast's efforts to diversify their revenue streams and stay competitive.
