   Until 2012, Sprint was the main MNO partner for the major US cable   
   operators, and had worked with them on MVNO deals, joint spectrum   
   ownership and WiMAX investments. In that year, however, Verizon lured   
   Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox and Brighthouse (now, after various   
   acquisitions, consolidated as Comcast, Charter and Cox) to its own   
   side. It acquired many of their spectrum assets and agreed an MVNO and   
   cross-marketing alliance. The latter was dumped the following year,   
   perhaps as Verizon realized how dangerous a threat cable could be to   
   its own 4G plans, but the MVNO agreements have persisted and were   
   recently renewed and extended with Comcast and Charter (though Cox is   
   reported to be in talks with AT&T)
