I'll research this company to verify its profile.
Mediacom Communications Corporation ("Mediacom") is a US cable and broadband operator headquartered in Middletown, New York, and incorporated in Delaware. It was founded in July 1995 by Rocco B. Commisso, who built it by acquiring cable systems in smaller, non-metropolitan markets. Mediacom was publicly traded (Nasdaq/NYSE: MCCC) after a 2000 IPO and was taken private in a roughly $600 million transaction in March 2011; it is now privately held by the Commisso family. Press reports indicate founder Rocco Commisso died in January 2026 and that a new CEO was appointed in February 2026. The company has reported roughly $2 billion in annual revenue (about $2.03 billion for FY2019) and about 4,300–4,600 employees.
Operations. Mediacom describes itself as the fifth-largest US cable operator, serving about 1.3–1.4 million customer relationships across 22 states, concentrated in the Midwest and Southeast, and as the largest broadband provider in Iowa. Its service lines are residential and business video/cable television, high-speed broadband internet (including 1 Gbps service and DOCSIS 3.1 deployment), cable telephony/VoIP, and Mediacom Business offerings such as business internet, hosted PBX/voice, managed WiFi, and business TV. Subsidiaries include Mediacom LLC, Mediacom Broadband LLC, Mediacom Business, and On Media.
Litigation posture. Mediacom is an operating company, not a patent assertion entity. In the tracked data it appears once, as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case), the classic profile of a service provider being targeted by patent holders rather than a party monetizing patents.
Notable case. CommWorks Solutions, LLC v. Mediacom Communications Corporation (S.D.N.Y., filed 2020-09-14) names Mediacom as defendant. CommWorks Solutions is characterized as a non-practicing entity affiliated with Georgia-based IPInvestments Group LLC, asserting patents acquired from Intellectual Ventures; Stanford's NPE database and RPX both classify CommWorks as a non-practicing entity. CommWorks has filed numerous suits against cable, networking, and communications vendors, often in W.D. Tex. and E.D. Tex., though this particular suit was filed in S.D.N.Y. External reporting also describes a related 2022 N.D. Ga. action by affiliate DigiMedia Tech, LLC against Mediacom over acquired video-technology patents; that matter is not among the case data above.
Hanger Solutions, LLC sued Mediacom Communications Corporation for patent infringement in the Middle District of Georgia, asserting U.S. Patents 6,098,098; 6,119,171; 6,430,623; 6,772,227; and 6,868,160. The case was reported closed/dismissed on December 30, 2022, with status 'Dismissed – Other.'
