Most of this will be done according to contracts that are already in use. I don't see them going out and re negotiating any of them for this purpose.In addition to marketing, with bundles and all that, I would like AT&T to launch channels.
I'm thinking of channels available from AT&T U-verse but not DirecTV, yes, but also some channels in need of being brought up to date in HD.
DirecTV is now owned by AT&T. The number of television subscriptions, nationwide, are now on the level of Comcast. So, I think it will be most interesting to see what AT&T actually does going forward. Branding, yes, but also the overall service which very much includes the channel lineup.
I would imagine all the contract end at different times.I wonder if why they aren't really telling us what AT&T plans on doing with UVerseTV and the integration between both systems is because they can't do anything until the UVerseTV channel contracts expire and I wonder when that is?
Sprint is taking an aggressive approach to competing with AT&T after being denied the opportunity to market its latest offer on DirecTV."We understand DirecTV is now part of AT&T," Sprint spokesman David Tovar said, referring to the $48.5 billion acquisition AT&T(NYSE: T) recently made. "But we thought that AT&T would be supportive of a competitive marketplace and would allow the free exchange of ideas."After Sprint’s attempts to buy advertising on DirecTV failed, the company has launched a new marketing campaign calling out AT&T by publishing the letter by Kevin Crull, who joined Sprint as chief marketing officer in May, sent to Randall Stevenson, AT&T CEO, and John Stankey, CEO of AT&T Entertainment & Internet Services at AT&T. The ad, which reiterates the offer, ran Thursday in major publications across the nation.
Looks that way!! imoThis will not benefit Sprint.
Is Sprint on its way out?

Interesting ....Sprint's new ad takes aim at AT&T's refusal to run offer on DirecTV http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/b...es-aim-at-at-ts-refusal-to-run.html?ana=yahoo
Looks that way!! imo
When I was with them in that same situation, I did upgrade to a Smart Phone, and it cost me an additional $10 a month in case I happen to wanred into a 4g zone. That was about 5 years ago when I got the Smart Phone and they STILL don't have 4g in my area ... they tell us soon ... may neighbor says, they've been saying that also for about 5 years.I was watching Sprint when I had a basic phone. It offered me nothing to upgrade to a smartphone. And then I did research and decided to leave. Wise.

I too left for many of the same reasons .... they also couldn't give me solid signal in my home, which had been fine with them for many years, then one day something happened and it was spotty from that point on ... they offered me an Air rave witch worked, but it required me to use MY internet to work it.that is exactly why I left Sprint. kept saying 4G would be in the area soon.. gave me a time line of by the end of said year (2012), and they still don't have it here. I left them in 2012 for Verizon.
I'm am going to stick with my prediction on another thread that AT&T will unload UVerse & their DSL/POTTS line services & be solely a Satellite TV/Wireless entity. That will greatly solve their Directv/UVerse TV conundrum,& they can also keep their promise that they'll expand their broadband internet capabilities,as long as it's the highly expensive & capped wireless broadband($120.00 for 30GB per month,their top tier).
