Comcast said last year that it had activated the Mobile Virtual Network Operator agreement with Verizon Communications, part of the SpectrumCo consortium’s sale of wireless licenses in 2011. Comcast created a separate division for the service -- Comcast Mobile – headed by former EVP of sales and marketing operations Greg Butz, in July and has said it planned to launch the service by the middle of this year.

Comcast has kept its mobile plans close to the vest, although chairman and CEO Brian Roberts offered some general details at an industry conference in February.
