Five major cable service providers in the United States are teaming up to allow their high-speed Internet customers access each other’s metro WiFi networks. The five are Bright House Networks, Cablevision, Comcast, Cox Communications and Time Warner Cable. The agreement will create a chain of more than 50,000 hotspots. This chain, called “CableWiFi,” is being launched alongside the companies’ existing WiFi hotspots bearing their own brands. Bright House Networks and Cablevision launched the first implementation of CableWiFi in New York City and central Florida earlier this month.
