The partnership will enhance AT&T’s Wi-Fi network by offering broadband-enabled content including MobiTV’s 15 channels spanning national news, sports and entertainment.
The service will be available at nearly 7,000 AT&T owned and operated Wi-Fi hot spots, which includes airports, coffee shops and book stores, with plans to expand to additional locations.
Having topped 1,000,000 subscribers and growing faster than ever, we’ve proved MobiTV’s technology, business model, and profitability on mobile networks across international markets on three continents, said Dr Phillip Alvelda, chairman and chief executive officer for MobiTV. Now, in partnership with AT&T we are proving that the MobiTV service can deliver premium quality content seamlessly across any of the latest broadband networks.
The MobiTV service will be accessible from the AT&T Wi-Fi portal. Users will have a basic channel line-up available through a monthly $11.99 subscription or for each 24-hour session for $5.99.
Through this agreement, AT&T, the US’s largest high-speed DSL internet provider with more than 7.4 million DSL lines in service, aims to give its customers a new avenue for entertainment and information.
