Since when T's network reaches customer premises in fiber? LIES AND MORE LIES, but some more details about its new set-top box and streaming DirecTV product while also spelling out how it will eventually end its satellite service and cut costs.
AT&T CFO John Stephens spoke Wednesday morning at the Morgan Stanley European Technology, Media and Telecom Conference and discussed DirecTV’s new premium streaming TV process.
“It’s a device that allows us to, instead of rolling a truck to the home, we roll a UPS or FedEx truck to the home and deliver a self-install box. This allows the customer to use their own broadband. We certainly hope it’s our own fiber but i
t could be on anybody’s broadband. And they get the full-service premium package that we would normally deliver off satellite or over our IP-based U-verse service,” Stephens said.
