Charter Communications sells internet, TV, and phone services to homes and businesses in the US under the Spectrum brand. It operates cable networks passing roughly 58 million homes and businesses — about 35% of the country — and currently serves around 30 million residential and 2 million commercial customer accounts. It is the second-largest US cable operator after Comcast. Revenue comes primarily from monthly subscriber fees, with internet being the core and growing product as TV subscribers decline. Charter also owns regional sports and news channels (Lakers, Dodgers, Mets, NY1). It has announced plans to acquire Cox Communications, which would expand its network footprint further.
