Some predict the end of cable TV as we know it.

Others see upheavals like what movie theaters and radio experienced with TV in the 1950s and broadcast with cable in the 1980s.

Amazon, Apple, Disney, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and others are going after cable customers and Netflix’s streaming TV business.

Facebook isn’t buying a cellular provider or even licenses to use federally controlled airwaves.

Instead it has built networking technology that equipment makers and internet providers can license free of charge. It helps provide home internet connections through wireless service instead of running fiber cable to your home.

This is a campaign by tech giants and small, upstart internet providers to win more customers with wireless connections at speeds comparable to traditional cable.

They aim to do it at a cheaper price than Spectrum and other big cable companies charge you now.

The services come with fewer restrictions than traditional providers, The Wall Street Journal reported.

These internet providers control only a fraction of our homes but aim to take more as consumers abandon cable for cheaper options.

In some cases, the upstarts will compete with the faster 5G home broadband service that carriers like Verizon are racing to roll out.

Facebook and other tech companies in the early stages of wireless streaming.

Microsoft, for example, wants the Federal Communications Commission to free unused TV broadcast airwaves for rural connections and has created equipment for using them.

Google has tested its own fiber and aims to commercialize its Loon project, which delivers connections via stratospheric balloons.

Facebook’s Terragraph uses unlicensed airwaves to send signals to small radio nodes in homes.
