Although Time Warner and Comcast are out of the running in the upcoming 700 MHz auction, Cox Communications will participate and so, it seems, will Long Island-based cable company Cablevision Systems. So, right now it looks like only the biggest cable companies will forego the possibility of buying the broadband wireless real estate.
Interesting development indeed. Cablevision's service territory is strictly limited to the New York metro region and any licenses it buys will likely be applied to service in that area alone. Cablevision participated in the last spectrum auction, the AWS auction, but dropped out of the bidding before the auction finished.
