AT&T To Offer Broadband TV
TALLAHASSEE - AT&T Inc. announced Thursday it will invest $750 million in broadband infrastructure in Florida as it seeks to woo customers from traditional cable companies. The move comes after passage of a state law that makes it easier for telecommunications companies to enter the TV business. Gov. Charlie Crist joined officials from AT&T, the country's largest provider of broadband Internet and land and wireless phone services, for the announcement. The company recently announced plans to expand into broadband in several other states as it takes advantage of laws similar to Florida's. The new law allows statewide franchises for providing cable television, rather than forcing companies to go through the local franchising process.
