I would guess those that have TimeWarner will be able to access Sunday Ticket next season.
I doubt it could be completed for this season.

I think it'll be a difficult road for them to get approval but if they don't Apple is waiting in the wings.
This is the natural order of things. OTA and cable are now moving to streaming, whether it's mobile apps or Apple TV, Roku, etc. Netflix, Amazon and Hulu have original programming, NBC and all of its networks are owned by Comcast so it makes sense for the nation's largest internet provider to have its own creative arm. In the long run, I believe it's going to help the content providers (like me) because streaming will provide wholly accurate numbers, as opposed to Nielsen ratings, which have a little "voodoo" happening with theirs. |

Everything I'm seeing is that AT&T is trying to phase OT Uverse bc using wave links with Directv=far less cost for infrastructure and and it's already paying off big time for them by gaining more customers.
Like Dane said, streaming is becoming big. Looks like they are trying to put together a good lineup for their service to compete with the market.

as long as ATT retains Time Warner's superior customer service principles, I'm all in.

Didn't they just buy Directv too?
How can they allow that?
