Charter's deployment of CBRS spectrum is at the very early stages, but its top exec already has some ideas about how the rollout will help the cable operator offset some of the costs of its MVNO deal with Verizon. "I think over the long haul, meaning four or five years, it could be up to one third of our traffic that would currently be on an MVNO basis," Tom Rutledge, Charter's chairman and CEO, said on Charter's Q4 2020 earnings call. Charter, which ended 2020 with 2.32 million mobile lines in service, believes a targeted deployment of CBRS will improve its wireless service economics.
