| No more boxes They could be looking at something that would eliminate the non dvr STB's. You could have a choice bring your own, use a computer, ipad, android tablet or rent one from AT&T. This would be a price enhancement over cable where every TV has to have a rented box, remember Comcast just announced they are going to start charging everyone a fee for each box, including the ones they already installed that where no fee boxes. While ATT would be giving up profit from the box rental racket they also dont have to screw with setting up all those extra boxes.
Maybe there $14 a month wireless box is not doing as well as they had planned. That box is a screw job on their installers, when I originally was getting Uverse the installers talked about wireless boxes coming and they would not have to run cables a lot of the time. By charging a fee above and beyond the normal box fee for wireless no one probably wants it. We actually move one of the STB's between one of our bedrooms and the garage since the garage is used in the summer and the bedroom is used more in the winter, both have CatV. |
