AT&T: Virtual MSO?

AT&T asked if customers would be interested in a "new video and Internet service" that could be delivered to a range of IP-connected devices without need for a separate set-top, and provide the option to bundle in broadcast TV channels, "popular sports and entertainment" networks, and even some streaming video services from sources such as Netflix. While delivering live TV and VoD content to IP devices without a set-top isn't exactly all that fresh and new in the TV Everywhere era, the notion of taking offering a subscription TV service bundle out of footprint could be a bit more interesting. "This service could be offered by any broadband provider, not necessarily AT&T," the survey notes, according to the publication.
