Comcast Corp and Charter Communications Inc. have signed a
partnership with each other. With this partnership, neither companies are
allowed to acquire wireless carrier without each other’s agreement. They also
want to cut competition by offering packages that would be more attractive to
customers in order to keep old customers and gain new ones.
Their goal is to become more competitive among the wireless
services industry. Charter plan to offer wireless service next year, and
Comcast also plans to offer it soon. By doing this partnership, it allows both
Comcast and Charter to work together to figure out what’s good and bad, as well
as adding more competition to the wireless market against companies like
T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon.
This partnership seems like a great idea, but it is also
limiting on both companies. However, this partnership will only last one year,
so it is good for experimentation on the market.

I feel like yes, it is good for experimentation on the market, BUT I don't think a year is enough time to determine what the partnership will be like in the long run.
