Backhaul is Time Warner Cable’s Fastest-Growing Business
Wireless backhaul now is Time Warner Cable’s fastest-growing business, growing 300 percent in 2009, says  after revenue tripled last year, says Craig Collins, company SVP, and reported by Bloomberg.  Across the cable industry, sales from wireless carriers may reach about $3.6 billion in 2012, according to researcher GeoResults.
Exploding mobile data usage is the problem, as most mobile cell towers rely on T1 lines operating at 1.544 Mbps, while smartphones operate on data networks designed to run in the several megabits per second to 20 Mbps range.
Comcast, the largest U.S. cable operator, expects backhaul to become a $1 billion business over time.
Time Warner Cable starting selling mobile backhaul services in 2008 and posted $26 million in sales in 2009.
