AT&T Officially Unveils DirecTV Now Streaming TV Service Starting at $35/Month [Channels]

AT&T today officially unveiled details about three new video streaming services being offered starting November 30th: DIRECTV NOW, FreeVIEW and Fullscreen.

For the more than 20 million U.S. households who have dropped cable or are flirting with cutting the cord, we’re now delivering video over a technology platform that will have multiple product capabilities, the first of which we’re unveiling today.

“We’re extending our entertainment portfolio for those who value premium content but also want more TV freedom suited for their lifestyle, whether watching at home or on their mobile devices. This is TV your way,” said John Stankey, CEO, AT&T Entertainment Group. “Our new customer-centric offers show that mobility and entertainment are better together,” added Stankey.




Here's a look at the details provided by AT&T about each service...
