On July 16, Mediacom Communications announced the launch of its new mobile phone service, Mediacom Mobile, which it is offering in partnership with Verizon.
The company reports that the new service is designed to be paired with its Xtream internet service and will be available in an unlimited or per-gig plan. The plan is further enhanced by giving customers access to thousands of Mediacom’s WiFi hotspots.
Tapan Dandnaik, Mediacom’s senior vice president of operations, product strategy, and consumer experience, said in a press release, “Our core mission as a company has always been to bring the very best communications services to the communities we serve. By combining a proven national wireless network with our fast and reliable fiber-rich gigabit speeds, robust Xtream WiFi capabilities, and simple, affordable pricing plans, we believe Mediacom Mobile creates a ubiquitous connected experience and a compelling wireless solution for consumers.”
The launch of the mobile network coincides with Mediacom’s efforts to expand its broadband footprint.
