Washington, D.C. (December 28, 2006)
--
AT&T has added
High-Definition TV service in the markets of
Indianapolis, Hartford, Connecticut and Northern
California's San Jose and Bay Area.
Previously, the telco was available only in the Texas
cities of Houston and San Antonio. But AT&T began
rolling out the service to more markets this week,
although its availability is still limited in those
cities.
For instance, several Indianapolis area counties can get
AT&T TV, but not residents in the city of Indianapolis
itself.
AT&T has said that it would offer TV service (including
HDTV) in almost 20 markets by year's end. The telco has not
revealed which cities would get the service.
AT&T and rival telco Verizon are hoping to compete with cable
and satellite in the lucrative TV business. Verizon has already
unveiled TV service in several markets.
Multichannel News says AT&T will charge a $10 "technology" fee
for HDTV programming packages. But until March, it will offer
free HD for two months.
