“Television viewing has moved beyond the TV set and we’re making it easier for consumers to get great entertainment through AT&T broadband services, including AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots,” said Kieran Nolan, vice present, AT&T Broadband. “This agreement helps enable compelling content for customers interested in a digital lifestyle.”

“Having topped 1,000,000 subscribers and growing faster than ever, we’ve proved MobiTV’s technology, business model, and profitability on mobile networks across international markets on three continents,” said Dr. Phillip Alvelda, chairman and chief executive officer for MobiTV. “Now, in partnership with AT&T, the nation’s leading DSL provider, we are proving that the MobiTV service can deliver premium quality content seamlessly across any of the latest broadband networks.”
