AT&T Unveils Triple Play Lineup After Clinching DirecTV Deal

AT&T launched its first triple play set of products, days after its acquisition of DirecTV got FCC approval (see 1507240055). Its video/wireless/broadband service will be available starting Aug. 10, AT&T said in a Monday news release. The company indicated other combo packages are in the works, with Brad Bentley, chief marketing officer, AT&T Entertainment and Internet Services, calling the triple play package "the first of many planned moves to enable our customers to enjoy a premium entertainment experience almost anywhere." The AT&T offerings include a variety of DirecTV or AT&T U-verse packages bundled with wireless phone service, available for monthly prices starting at $200, with different high-speed Internet services available atop that.
