The next challenge of the founder of Starry--Aereo aiming for new competition on the wireless Internet
Is there a broadband connection service that can be used in a higher speed, low price, and a completely wireless state?
The emerging company Starry believes that this can be realized, and is trying to replace it with cable companies and telephone companies.
The company, which is based in New York and Boston, is a company that has been launched by people who have tried to shake the television industry in Aereo, which are already bankrupt, and are new to major cable companies and telecommunications companies that provide Internet connection services.I want to create a competition.The company plans to provide a wireless broadband service called "Starry Internet" at a lower price than existing providers.This summer, we plan to start providing in Boston and expand the target cities by the end of the year.The ultimate goal is to expand the United States.
According to Starry officials, the price has not yet been determined, but it will be cheaper than existing services.The reason is that there is no need to lay a cable in each family.
"Wired infrastructure is really troublesome," said Starry's CEO, CEO, said at a press event held in Manhattan on January 27, US time."You should move wirelessly" (KANOJIA)
If STARRY can promise up to one gigabit connection (10 times the average speed of US home broadband), there is a possibility that the broadband industry can be renewed.This is a faster that far exceeds most services provided by cable companies and telephone companies.Starry is a new corner of a new being, which has the potential to replace high -speed online access.One of the rivals, which is a number of services on the market, such as "Fiber" provided by Google for $ 70.
Such an initiative has promoted some markets to existing Internet service providers to improve the connection speed.In addition, there is a possibility that the customer service that is always listed on the ball will be promoted.According to the 2015 American Customer Satisfaction Index survey, Internet service or paid television companies account for most of the lowest customer satisfaction companies, and Time Warner Cable is ranked at the bottom.
"I think there are various emotions for competing alternative services," says Kanojia."I don't think there is one person who thinks there is enough competition in the market."
There are other large -scale initiatives to provide wireless broadbands, and Winstar and Clearwire fall under that, but not.
Verizon has refused to comment.Cable providers, including ComCast and Time Warner Cable, are also asking for comments, but no answer has been obtained.
