AT&T's U-Verse will be coming to Palm Beach and Broward counties in Florida by the end of the year, an AT&T rep tells the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. AT&T was the first to sign up for a statewide franchise agreement after lobbying furiously to pass TelcoTV-friendly laws -- variations of which have now passed in 21 states.

A few months back, a leaked U-Verse launch schedule was revealed that's been largely accurate, though the Ohio launch was a tiny bit behind schedule. As it stands, Florida isn't on it -- the next planned launch location for AT&T VDSL and IPTV is Oklahoma City in early August.
