Telecom giant, AT&T Inc., has begun rolling-out its fiber optic internet television service in the city of Houston, Texas, where it is now offering a variety of digital, high-definition, and digital video recording packages.

“We have all the things people want in communication services, and our emphasis is on integrating it all together,” commented AT&T’s vice president and general manager for the Houston metropolitan area, Ed Cholerton.

The new U-verse fiber optic television service uses IP technology to deliver programming into the homes of customers, and allow users to record shows and edit DVR preferences remotely from any web-connected computer.

Offerings like U-verse, along with the newly launched wireless services of cable operators, are dramatically increasing the level of competition between incumbent cable and telephone providers.

In the city of Houston, AT&T’s digital television packages currently cost between $44 and $129, depending on the amount of programming and internet services selected. High-Definition reception on select channels costs an additional $10/month.
