We already got a preview of DirecTV Now, but here is much more complete
description of various Internet delivery options, for content AT&T has rights
for.
Again, this is the first example of an MVPD morphing big time into several OTT
sites, available to multiple Internet devices, throughout the US.

The Revolution is Here: AT&T Offers 3 Ways to Stream Premium Video Content
DIRECTV NOW, FreeVIEW and Fullscreen Available Nov. 30
NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2016 – The future of TV is NOW. On Nov. 30, AT&T1 begins
offering 3 video streaming services – DIRECTV NOW, FreeVIEW and Fullscreen.
It’s your favorite TV networks and made-for-digital video content delivered
with more choice and flexibility than ever.
This is rules-free TV for anyone in the U.S. who wants to stream shows and
movies anytime, anywhere. 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.
Sign up online for DIRECTV NOW or Fullscreen. Within minutes, you have the
power to stream content over a U.S. internet connection on a variety of
devices. No set-top-boxes, satellite dishes, annual contracts or credit checks
required.
And, if you’re an AT&T Mobility customer, DIRECTV will pick up the tab for data
to help you achieve all your binge-worthy goals. Data Free TV means you won’t
use your AT&T mobile data for watching DIRECTV NOW or FreeVIEW in the App.
Fullscreen will also cover your data for streaming in the Fullscreen App on the
AT&T mobile network.2
DIRECTV NOW
Starting Nov. 30, stream your favorite live sports, on demand, premium

$35 per month. This is a limited time offer. Customers who sign up for this
offer will continue to enjoy this special price for as long as you keep the
