Ok, maybe I'm lost here, but why would a cable co. need much, if any, wireless spectrum?

They get signals from geostationary satellites in space from huge dishes. Those get piped through many many wires and eventually end up going through coax into your house...
What am I missing??? What good would any of this 'spectrum' do for them???
Branching out into the wireless service field maybe?
