One of them is a streaming-based device titled AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Watch that will offer a skinny bundle, which will be in $15 a month price range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking through a webcast, AT&amp;T\u2019s CFO further said that DIRECTV NOW<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is positioned for success in the longer term since it has reached over 1.5 million customers. Moreover, Stephens also told investors at the Cowen and Company\u2019s Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference, that U-verse<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and DIRECTV<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> \u201cstill have a place in the marketplace\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In general, an affordable skinny bundle suggests less number of channels compared to what is offered by a Telco in their cheapest TV internet phone bundles. AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> provides an option for subscribers to bundle DIRECTV NOW<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> with an Unlimited Enhanced plan, but for triple play, AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> customers would have to combine a DIRECTV<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> package with digital phone and internet plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is planning to launch two streaming services by 2018 to add to its cheapest TV internet phone bundles and double play packages. The first service will be an in-home device for streaming that will provide \u201cthe full scope of services\u201d akin to their DIRECTV NOW<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, but at an affordable cost. The AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae <\/sup>CFO also hinted that it would provide integrated access to some of the other streaming services, and that it would be connectable to any broadband internet service.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2153\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2153\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2153\" class=\"wp-image-2153 size-medium\" title=\"Best Packages \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TV-Providers-4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Best Internet Provider\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TV-Providers-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TV-Providers-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TV-Providers-4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>High Speed Internet <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second streaming service, which AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> expects to launch this year, is a skinny television bundle.

He further added that AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Watch is a \u201cvery low-end, very thin collection of content\u201d, whereas the skinny bundle would take select cable networks of Turner<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> from Time Warner<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and \u201cbundle that with a small number of other channels\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A while back, the US Justice Department litigated the AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>-Time Warner<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> deal arguing that it would affect competition.
