Telecom giant, AT&T Inc., added several new features to its U-verse IPTV service in Houston, Texas this week, in an ongoing effort to compete more vigourously with cable companies in that city.

The newly added features include the fully customizable “AT&T U-bar,” which adds weather forecasts, stock quotes, sports updates, and traffic reports to the customer’s TV screen. AT&T also added YellowPages.com TV, a way to search for local businesses via the TV, and AT&T Yahoo! Games, which lets customers play simple, full-screen games such as Sudoku, Solitaire, Mah-jongg, and Chess.

AT&T is currently in the process of investing $4 billion to lay fiber-optic cables throughout its service footprint, so as to offer faster broadband internet access, and 100% internet-based interactive television service.

    1. If you want to try out something new in sudoku, try shendoku, using the sudoku rules but playing two people, one against the other, like battleshipps. They have a free version to download at http://www.shendoku.com/sample.pdf . Anything else they are bringing out or they are working on you can find at http://www.shendoku.com or at they´r blog http://www.shendoku.blogspot.com . Have fun, I am. I specially like one slogan I heard about Shendoku: SUDOKU is like masturbation (on your own)…. SHENDOKU is like sex (it takes two).
