Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK), Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE: TWC) and Bright House Networks -- MSOs involved in the SpectrumCo LLC joint venture -- have inked a deal to sell their Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum to Verizon Wireless for US$3.6 billion, and, as part of the agreement, have included an option that will let the MSOs sell Verizon Wireless services on a wholesale basis.
Under the financial end of the deal, Verizon will acquire SpectrumCo's 122 AWS spectrum licenses covering 259 million POPs, with Comcast, which owns 63.6 percent of SpectrumCo, set to receive $2.3 billion from the sale, and TW Cable (31.2 percent) to get $1.1 billion, and Bright House (5.3 percent) to net $189 million.

  3. For anyone that happens to know PivotPro333, this is his Pivot Montage 1 Pack. I am hosting it here because before the file hosting site he used got shut down, I grabbed a copy and held onto it. The reason is split up into 3 packs is because the original file exceeded 10 MBs which is a limitation to having a Weebly site.
The MSOs will come away with a handsome profit if the deal passes muster at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) . When SpectrumCo won the licenses in 2006, Comcast paid $1.29 billion and TWC paid $632.2 million. (See SpectrumCo Gets Licenses and Sprint to Exit SpectrumCo Venture .)
On the product and service end of the deal, MSOs and Verizon Wireless, in addition to the aforementioned wholesale component that will come into play 'over time,' will also become agents to sell one another's products. On top of that, the MSOs and the wireless operator will form a technology joint venture that aims to 'better integrate wireline and wireless products and services.'
Comcast Cable President Neil Smit noted in a statement that the agreements, together with the MSO's own Wi-Fi buildout plans, 'enables us to execute a comprehensive, long-term wireless strategy…' Verizon Wireless President and CEO Dan Mead, meanwhile, said the AWS capacity purchase will bolster its Long Term Evolution (LTE) strategy and 'now solidifies our network leadership into the future.'
Why this mattersUpcoming Stuff   The Pivot Corner!
In addition to giving Verizon Wireless additional capacity for LTE, the deal lays to rest any worry from Wall Street that the MSOs would use their AWS capacity to build out their own wireless network. The deal also simmers speculation that the MSOs could step in and do a deal with T-Mobile US Inc. now that its pending acquisition by AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) is in hot water. (See FCC OKs AT&T’s Merger Application Withdrawal .)
The deal with Verizon Wireless would also appear to put Sprint Corp. (NYSE: S), cable's traditional wireless partner, out of the long-term wireless plans at Comcast, TW Cable and Bright House. It also calls into question cable's near-term commitment to the struggling Clearwire LLC (Nasdaq: CLWR). (See Sprint Keeps Clearwire (& Unlimited) Alive.)
Today's deal may also shed light on plans underway at Cox Communications Inc. , a SpectrumCo partner that paid $248 million for its AWS spectrum licenses. That MSO, which recently decided to shut down its wireless service, has yet to reveal what it intends to do with its AWS and 700MHz spectrum that originally was tagged to help Cox build out its own wireless network.
