Charter CEO Chris Winfrey Dismisses FWA as ‘Cellphone Internet’

Charter CEO Chris Winfrey at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo General Session.

Charter Communications CEO Christopher Winfrey came out swinging against cable's fast-emerging fixed wireless access competition at a Morgan Stanley investor conference Wednesday, repeatedly calling the technology an “inferior product” and labeling it several times as “cellphone internet.”

“That’s what it is — cellphone internet,” Winfrey declared repeatedly, noting the cable industry “needs to do a better job of marketing” against its fast-rising wireless competitors. (You can access a replay of Winfrey's Morgan Stanley appearance here.)
