AT&T Denies Streaming Service Fraud Claims

AT&T was upfront about the risks of launching a new product and there's no proof it knew of any improper practices in selling DirecTV Now -- now AT&T TV Now -- subscriptions, it said in a motion to dismiss (in Pacer, docket 19-cv-02892) Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. It's challenging of a fraud suit by union pension fund investors claiming the company inflated its streaming service subscriber numbers (see 1909160026). Plaintiffs' outside counsel didn't comment Wednesday.
