AT&T Chairman, CEO and President Randall Stephenson announced the introduction of the company’s new U-Verse TV, Internet and Voice service in Chattanooga this summer during today’s AT&T stockholders meeting at the Chattanoogan hotel.
U-Verse, delivered over AT&T’s Internet Protocol network, will become the only 100 percent Internet Protocol-based TV service offered in the city, he said.
AT&T’s said that U-Verse will move to compete with existing Comcast cable and EPB’s fiber-optic networks, and will offer new features like using an iPhone as a remote control or viewing screen, watching multiple stations covering a single event and the ability to pause a program in one room and resume watching in another.
Mr. Stephenson claimed that AT&T added one million new subscribers last year to the relatively new service, for a total of two million customers.
