A duo for a dual-mode phone. Time Warner Cable and Sprint Nextel are working on an upcoming GSM/WiFi cellphone.
The system will work like dual-mode services already available in Europe, like BT Fusion in the UK or Neuf Cegetel/SFR in France. The cellphone switches from its wireless to its WiFi mode whenever it goes into the domestic broadband access point and reverse to its usual mode when outside.
Time Warner will the second operator, behind T-Mobile USA, to offer such a service in the USA, says Light Reading. And it seems very cautious about introducing the device:
“Time Warner CTO Mike LaJoie said at a cable conference in March that his company will first sell standalone wireless service and bill for it on the Time Warner bill. The MSO will then begin integrating the wireless with its VOIP, data, and video services, he said.”
