America’s largest telecommunications provider has unveiled an innovative new streaming television service for high-speed internet subscribers.

AT&T’s new service will start by offering 20 channels of video content, including existing cable channels like Bloomberg Television, History Channel, Food Network, and the Weather Channel, as well as a significant amount of made-for-broadband TV.

AT&A Broadband TV, as the new service is called, will cost $19.99/month, on top of the cost of a broadband internet connection. The service itself will be available to all high-speed internet subscribers in the United States, but only AT&T DSL customers will have access to the Fox News Network, due to a recent “rights issue” with Fox.

Daniel York, the vice president of programming at AT&T, says that the Broadband TV offering is part of the company’s master plan for exposing the masses to a “digital lifestyle.” To get there, the telecom giant will need to leverage all three “screens” (PCs, TVs, and cell phones), York explained.
