AT&T to offer Television Service and Movie Downloads This Summer
By
AT&T announced Tuesday that it will team up with San Mateo-based Akimbo to allow customers to download movies and shows over the Internet through AT&T’s upcoming television service this summer.
The new AT&T service, called Homezone, is set to start in California and 12 other states by late summer. The partnership brings the phone company a step closer to realizing its long-held desire to serve all of a customer’s entertainment needs with one, Internet-linked set-top box. It also highlights the massive shift the telecommunications industry has undergone in recent years, as phone companies — seeing their traditional phone-line sales diminish — are branching out into television.
