There’s no doubt that connecting cable and mobile technologies, operations and services is challenging work, but Cox doesn’t shy away from a challenge.

Sprint has indeed made some structural changes to the wireless initiative. Additionally, Cox has created new wireless roles and reorganized internal responsibilities to support our joint venture efforts. But have we lost our appetite to bring consumers the next generation of the bundled experience? Absolutely not. Sprint’s consolidation of its cable-related activities into one group allows the partners to better use their resources. And, allows us to increase our ability to deliver a superior suite of integrated services. The changes also reflect the mutual trust and confidence the companies have built with each other, as well as our dedication to feeding consumers insatiable appetite for what they want—when and where they want it.
