Rutledge also hinted in an interview with CNBC that Charter might someday offer its own Netflix-like streaming video app. And, in what will likely be even shorter time frame, Charter plans to roll out a new customer interface that lists streaming video content right alongside programming from the cable lineup, blending so-called over-the-top video that relies on an Internet connection with more traditional TV offerings.
“All of that product can be integrated into our new user interface that will allow customers to seamlessly move between over-the-top and cable on every device that they own,” Rutledge told CNBC.
