Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is making some of its Xfinity TV, Internet and home phone services available for purchase on Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN). The new online marketplace, available at www.amazon.com/cablestore or www.amazon.com/xfinity, offers more than 30 Xfinity products and services, including the company’s flagship video product, Xfinity X1.
Pricing offered on Amazon.com is identical to what is available through Comcast’s existing sales channels, and Xfinity purchases made on Amazon are supported by a dedicated team of Comcast customer service agents. For now, only new customers can purchase Xfinity products on Amazon. Later this year, the MSO expects to provide the option to existing customers as well.
Comcast appears to be tightening its relationship with the online giant. Last week, the MSO announced another deal with Amazon, under which Comcast Business customers can get direct links to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
