“The CPUC's approval of our application brings Californians one step
closer to finally having a real choice to cable TV,” said Ken McNeely, President, AT&T California. “After more than 40 years of the status quo, Californians are now beginning to see the benefits of a competitive marketplace for both TV/video and other broadband services.”
McNeely also said AT&T would start rolling out its IPTV service “in
cities throughout the state as soon as possible.”
AT&T has deployed IPTV in California cities already, including the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and in parts of the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA.
Verizon won the first California video franchise earlier this month.Want to use this article? Click here for options!
