Liberty Broadband Corp
Business
Liberty Broadband Corporation is primarily an investment company that holds a significant economic ownership interest in Charter Communications, a leading broadband connectivity provider serving millions of homes and small to large businesses across multiple states. The company's core business consists of its equity method investment in Charter, which offers converged broadband, WiFi, mobile, video and voice services under the Spectrum brand. Liberty Broadband also owned GCI, a broadband and telecommunications provider, until divesting it as a discontinued operation. In November 2024, Charter agreed to acquire Liberty Broadband in an all-stock transaction.
