In a discussion with reporters today, Verizon Wireless CEO Dan Mead hedged Comcasts claims that LTE is a viable competitor to traditional landline cable modems. Anyone who uses both knows that its a ridiculous argument — LTE service is usually slower, less consistent, and comes with deeply restrictive data caps — but Comcast has been leaning on it as a supposed example of why competition is healthy in the broadband internet market. …we dont see LTE being as efficient as fiber coming into the home. Theyre trying to get deals approved, right, and I understand that… their focus is different than my focus right now, because I dont have any deals pending, Mead said, a reference to the fact that Comcast is looking for ways to justify the TWC buy.
Comcast’s claim that LTE competes with cable modems is ‘a little bit of a stretch,’ says Verizon Wireless CEO
