Cablevision Systems Corp. cut a deal with Sprint PCS that will allow its cable subscribers to order wireless-phone service from Sprint through the Optimum Store Online (www.optimumstore.com), but it isn’t adding wireless-phone service to its bundle of video, high-speed-data and voice-over-Internet-protocol phone products.
Under the agreement, Cablevision customers who buy Sprint wireless phone service from Optimum store will receive a $70 “Optimum Cash” rebate for each phone line they order.
A Cablevision spokesman said the MSO has no immediate plans to add wireless phone service to its bundle, but that the company is exploring a wireless play.
Cablevision also sells televisions, VCRs and other consumer electronics products through its OptimumStore.com Web site.
