<p>With companies like Verizon pushing into its broadband turf, Comcast may be pushing back with its own mobile network, according to a report from The Information. Insiders claim that, like Google, it's considering a service that would work using a combination of Comcast's million+ WiFi hotspots and leased cellular capacity from other operators. Those could include Verizon, with which it already has a deal in place for wholesale network access. In addition, it has over 8 million customer WiFi routers that could also function as hotspots. If all that is accurate, Comcast could offer such a service separately, as part of a bundle or even as a cheap WiFi-only package a la Scratch Wireless. Take it with a big dollop of skepticism, though -- Comcast has gone down that road before.</p><p>Comments Share</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/09/report-comcast-readying-wifi-powered-mobile-service/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/04/09/comcast-might-try-its-hand-at-mobile-phone-service/">Comcast might try its hand at mobile phone service</a> (Washington Post (blog))</p><p><a href="http://www.philly.com/philly/business/20140408_No_Disney__Viacom_execs_on_list_for_Comcast_hearing.html">No Disney, Viacom execs on list for Comcast hearing</a> (Philly.com)</p><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/comcast-wireless-mobile-phone-plan-2014-4">Comcast Considers Offering Wireless Mobile Phone Plan</a> (Business Insider)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dI3-ED2yAHBXXZMtpwCPdUQ_JGdoM&authuser=0&ned=us">600 additional articles.</a></p>
