Cox's wireless plans call for cross-platform content

Cox Communications, the third-largest cable television provider in the U.S., confirmed plans it will launch a wireless service that integrates its various service platforms, including content and applications. "I won't divulge too many secrets here, but we'll focus on providing simple calling plans, integrating all our services into one device with a consistent cross-platform interface, and making our content and applications mobile," said Cox president Patrick Esser on Tuesday prior to the Progress and Freedom Foundation's annual technology policy summit in Aspen. Under the Cox Wireless brand, the cable firm shelled out more than $304 million for 22 wireless spectrum licenses during the FCC's recent 700 MHz auction.
