AT&T to offer IPTV in Indiana

by Brian Turner

You can get one stop shopping for all your communications needs – at least in Indiana.

AT&T has announced that the company will be getting with the times and begin to offer satellite television, broadband internet, and landline telephone service. Traditional companies, such as AT&T have partnered with other firms in the past to offer their customers the technological services that they demanded.

Homezone, the name of the new service that will be launched to new customers, is the first step in bringing AT&T into the technology service race. The next step will be for AT&T to launch its own IPTV service. AT&T won the right to distribute IPTV in Indiana, and announced their plans to have the new service, U-verse, available to half the state by late 2008.

The new services will not be available to everyone – just those who live in areas that are already covered by the existing AT&T broadband services. But the new services will be comparable in cost to the other services currently offered – about $135 to get started – which will include satellite television, wireless broadband, telephone services, and a box for the TV that’s Web ready.

The Homezone upgrades will be available soon, with AT&T eagerly waiting the launch of the IPTV. The company understands it is where the technology is headed and they are investing wisely in that future.
