Bright House Networks, Cablevision, Comcast, Cox Communications and Time Warner Cable have agreed to a deal that will provide 50,000 nationwide hotspots for their customers.
The deal “will let customers from any of those companies connect to the new ‘CableWiFi’ access points,” reports SlashGear, and customers can access the hotspots using “the same credentials they would use for their companies branded hotspots.”
Bright House and Cablevision already have hotspots in New York and Florida, but they will now expand their offerings with CableWiFi.
The hotspots will first appear in New York, Los Angeles, Tampa, Orlando, and Philadelphia — with more to come.
“This is the largest and most inclusive Wi-Fi sharing effort among cable operators to date,” explains the press release. “In early 2010, Cablevision, Comcast and Time Warner Cable entered into an agreement allowing their customers in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Connecticut to access Wi-Fi hotspots offered by each operator in these areas.”
