Mobile Service

Where We Stand

Cable’s mobile service brings competition, savings, and consumer choice.

Broadband providers have expanded their offerings to include mobile plans, giving Americans more choices. This new competition from cable mobile has helped heat up a once stagnant mobile marketplace, and in 2025, consumers benefited from $5 billion in savings on cable mobile plans.

Current Challenge

Innovative network solutions bring new service options.

Cable providers leverage multiple technologies to deliver smartphone plans at a significantly lower cost than the big mobile companies. By utilizing their extensive Wi-Fi networks to carry the bulk of mobile data, cable ISPs offer an innovative new approach to the marketplace.

Path Forward

Getting spectrum right for all users.

A mix of spectrum categories (unlicensed, shared, licensed, etc.), has powered new options and innovations, reflecting the complex tech ecosystem that has blossomed over the years. To continue fostering this success story, a holistic approach to spectrum management will benefit consumers, the marketplace, and the American economy. Americans have more choices than ever before for mobile service, saving them millions monthly when switching from higher-priced plans offered by traditional phone companies. Unsurprisingly, these lower-cost plans have been a hit with consumers.
