Comcast and Charter are trying to get some traction with their wireless MVNOs. But now Apple is putting the screws to the cable operators in regard to devices.

Altice USA, Frontier Communications, Motorola Solutions and Windstream are just a handful of entities that told the FCC in no uncertain terms that they object to AT&T’s proposal for the creation of a new Category C antenna for the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band.

Unlike Comcast and Charter, Altice is an infrastructure-based MVNO, which means it has more control over the user experience and can negotiate lower network fees.

Altice may charge as little as $20 to $30 per month for the wireless service.

Altice has deployed more than 19,000 small cells in less than one year through its partnership with Sprint.

Altice CEO Dexter Goei offered additional details on his company’s plans to launch a mobile service in the first half of next year.

It appears that three of the nation’s largest cable companies are not planning to bid on millimeter-wave spectrum licenses.

Altice said its forthcoming mobile service won’t be just any old MVNO.

Both Comcast and Charter are expected to add thousands of new mobile customers throughout the remainder of this year.
