Comcast is testing a free wireless Internet service for its cable subscribers in parts of New Jersey, following in the footsteps of a fellow cable operator. Comcast shadowed Cablevision Systems, which is offering WiFi in its Long Island, Connecticut and Westchester markets and will complete the wireless rollout by early 2010. The collaboration is meant to extend the reach of each cable operator’s WiFi; a Comcast customer can access his cable operator’s WiFi in certain Cablevision markets and vice versa.
