AT&T Enters The Streaming Cable Competition
Tomorrow (November 30) the growing market of non-contract, price-reduced cable over the Internet will become a three-horse race. On that day phone giant AT&T will launch DirectTV Now, an off-branch of the DirectTV satellite service it owns. This move would seem like shooting themselves in the foot since the new service is undeniably better and cheaper at the same time, provided you can get Internet from another source. AT&T has studied the numbers, however, and they’ve concluded if they’re to keep the new generation of humanity from sticking with Netflix and Hulu only, this is a step they have to take. So now that we have three choices to pick from, let’s size them up. DirectTV Now comes in four pricing tiers, and please forgive me when I pass these names on, because I did not pick them: Live a Little – $35 a month, 60+ channels Just Right – $50 a month, 80+ channels Go Big – $60 a month, 100+ channels Gotta Have It – $70 a month,
