AT&T offers $48.5 billion for DirecTV
AT&T Inc plans to pay $48.5 billion to buy DirecTV, in the latest sign that the wireless industry and the U.S. television market are set to converge as customers consume more video on their mobile devices.
Sounds like a good idea for AT&T to expand more into the satellite sector of the market. Perhaps this would allow them to extend mobile services beyond the various cellular coverage areas, as well as allow them to get more into media distribution.
Fewer choices, higher prices, crappier service.
DUMBEST DEAL – EVER.
Ever used U-Verse?? HA! My landlord installed it in my place for 2 days. We JOINTLY told them to come RIP IT OUT… Actually, we ended up doing it for them on DAY 3. Shipped their lousy kit back – NEVER TO RETURN..
Like un-secure wireless?? GET ATT UVERSE…. Try their Gateway… You’ll get hacked in less than 24 hours.
