DirectTV provides satellite-based television and audio services. U-Verse is a service from AT&T that offers more than 500,000 On Demand TV shows, movies, sports, music videos and more.
Last year, AT&T completed a $49 billion acquisition of DirectTV. In a statement on AT&T’s website, the acquisition was to “meet consumers’ future entertainment preferences, whether they want traditional TV service with premier programming, their favorite content on a mobile device, or on-demand video streamed over the Internet to any screen.â€
With the acquisition, AT&T boosted its TV service customer number to 26 million. Its U-verse TV service had far less of a customer base at only about 6 million subscribers as per a report from USA Today.
The FCC set several conditions for AT&T before approving the acquisition. One condition required the telecom giant to expand its fiber Internet connection to 12.5 million customers within the next four years.
