AT$T Bundles Up U-verse

Posted on March 12, 2008 - 7:29am.

Note: AT&T is moving closer to the "Quadruple Play" by bundling wireless services with the usual cable/TV/phone triple play. Subscribers will have all their essential communications services locked into one provider's network and quite likely for extended contracts (that's very 'consumer' friendly). And as Big Brother to the government, AT&T will riffle through everyone's data communications at will to ensure subscribers are on the up and up. AT&T also just raised pricing 400% on SMS text messaging and 600% on Multimedia messaging - as one site points out, that's a data transfer charge of $1,000 per MB for SMS. Whose world?
