For instance, they had introduced \u201cdouble up\u201d promotion in 2014 to differentiate their FiOS data service from that offered by other service providers. This promotion was aimed at increasing the sales of wireless and FiOS.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_983\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-983\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-983\" class=\"wp-image-983 size-medium\" title=\"FiOS Data Service\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DirecTV2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"DirecTV\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-983\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>DirecTV Services<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t think that any cable provider can bundle wireless with broadband,\u201d said Verizon CFO Fran Shammo. \u201cWe did that in our FiOS footprint and we think that&#8217;s a very unique offer for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Verizon has also offered in March to double monthly mobile data allotments for their existing and new users in Northeast US, who also opt for their FiOS service. However, Verizon knew that bundles that offer combination of two or more services are not good for the company, as they can lead to decrease in revenue.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, AT&amp;T has a very different approach to bundling. AT&amp;T points that bundling and cross selling, is one of the main reasons that they spent billions to buy DirecTV. Ralph de la Vega of AT&amp;T said back in May that 15 million of the newly acquired DirecTV customers of AT&amp;T do not subscribe to the wireless service of the carrier, and that 20 million of the wireless customers of AT&amp;T do not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/filipino-channels-now-available-on-directv\/\">subscribe to the DirecTV services<\/a>.
