It's Time Warner calling
Time Warner Cable is adding phone service to its package available to small and medium-sized businesses in the Triad.
Just as the company is pushing residential customers toward buying digital phone, cable television and high-speed Internet service together, now the cable provider is touting bundled packages for business. It's an effort to broaden Time Warner's offerings far beyond traditional cable television - and further muscle in on the phone company's territory.
And it's a continuation of an industry push to get consumers to buy all their telecommunications services through a single company.
Time Warner is launching "Business Class Phone" in the Carolinas this week. The service includes unlimited local and long-distance calling in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, as well as three-way call transfer and other features.
According to a Time Warner news release, the company has "more than 2 million" residential subscribers in the U.S. who use digital phone.
