The provider told BBR that while it had originally predicted covering 65 percent of its subscribers with the added speed by the end of this year, it now expects to reach 80 percent in the same timeframe. The next area to get a DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade should be... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/06/comcast.doc.3.ahead.sched/ Thu, 06 Aug 2009 21:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/25/att.u.verse.iphone.app/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/attu-verseiphoneapp.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />After days of silence on its presence, AT&T today formally launched its Mobile Remote Access app for the iPhone and iPod touch. The free software gives subscribers to the carrier's U-verse IPTV service control over their DVR units, including queuing up future recordings based on the TV schedule as well as deleting shows that are already stored on the set-top box. It can filter to only show favor... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/25/att.u.verse.iphone.app/ Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/15/u.verse.over.hd.streams/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/ruckussml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T is allegedly preparing to begin consumer trials that integrate Ruckus Wireless equipment with U-verse services, according to Light Reading. Unnamed sources suggest the company aims to reduce installation times by eliminating the need to run coaxial cable as the primary distribution method across a home. Instead, 802.11n wireless signals will carry HD IPTV streams to various equipment.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/15/u.verse.over.hd.streams/ Fri, 15 May 2009 19:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/14/slingplayer.vs.u.verse.rum/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/slingplayermobile-iphone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T's decision to disallow 3G for the iPhone edition of SlingPlayer may have been motivated as much by desires to quash a competitor as it is to avoid congestion, a claim suggests. Although AT&T's official explanation is that streaming TV consumes too much bandwidth, a tip from Gizmodo purports that the carrier has the ulterior motive of crippling SlingPlayer to protect a future U-verse app. Su... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/14/slingplayer.vs.u.verse.rum/ Thu, 14 May 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/16/twc.meter.gone.in.ny.town/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0801/timewarnercable.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Time Warner Cable has scrapped its plans to trial metered Internet access in Rochester after political resistance, local news said on Thursday. Senator Chuck Schumer delivered surprise news that he had successfully negotiated with the Internet provider to drop Rochester from a planned expansion of metering, which would otherwise have arrived in August. A lack of competition is cited as the prima... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/16/twc.meter.gone.in.ny.town/ Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/27/itv.14.for.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0810/itvsml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />i.TV has launched version 1.4 of its TV and movie guide for the iPhone and iPod touch. The update provides AT&T U-verse listings for all coverage areas, and more support for Comcast customers, including video-on-demand information and other material. Stability and speed improvements have also been made; the latter cut the start-up time for the app roughly in half, and double active running speed.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/27/itv.14.for.iphone/ Fri, 27 Mar 2009 12:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/23/att.on.new.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T has reportedly made statements supporting a new, faster iPhone in the June timeframe. Citing one or more unnamed executives at the provider as "100% confirmed" sources, BGR hears the new iPhone will be unveiled "around mid-June" and that speed should be a particular focus. It's suggested that this may include (but wouldn't be limited to) AT&T's planned 7.2Mbps 3G upgrades that should roughl... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/23/att.on.new.iphone/ Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/28/att.q4.2008.results/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T today reported results for the fall quarter that it attributes directly to continued iPhone 3G sales. The company says that its net income dropped from $3.1 billion in late 2007 to $2.4 billion in 2008 but says that its overall revenue climbed 2.4 percent to $31.1 billion based partly on increases in wireless performance and considers the iPhone 3G a "success." The carrier activated 1.9 mill... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/28/att.q4.2008.results/ Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/04/att.cuts.12000.jobs/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0812/samsungepix-att.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T today announced one of the larger job cuts in the midst of the US recession and said it would drop 12,000 employees, or about 4 percent of its total worker base. The effort is attributed both to the poor economy as well as to a "changing business mix" that has left its traditional landline service in decline. Much of that business is shifting towards cellphones and other wireless services, ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/04/att.cuts.12000.jobs/ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/23/att.q208.and.iphone.3g/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T has sold almost twice as many iPhone 3G units on launch as it did a year ago, the company has revealed today along with its results for the past quarter. The wireless carrier claims that the new handset produced "nearly double" the same amount of sales in 12 days of sales as its predecessor did for its own launch. The company also notes that the number of smartphone owners on its network ha... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/23/att.q208.and.iphone.3g/ Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:35:00 GMT
