AT&T to offer DirecTV’s services

US based telecom giant AT&T has announced that they are soon going to start offering DirecTV’s services.

This would enable them to compete against current partner Dish Network.

AT&T would offer DirecTV services as part of their Advanced TV service.

Their contract with Dish Network ends in January next year.

Market analyst Craig Moffett spoke about this decision: “This is very good news for DirecTV, but it deals a very serious blow to Dish Network that is already suffering from a series of blows over the last year.”

Dish Network spokeswoman Kathie Gonzalez had this to say on the new developments: “We have enjoyed a good partnership with AT&T over the past several years. We look forward to a healthy competition with their U-verse product and DirecTV.”
