Hoping to stir up competition in the arena of television and Internet service providers, AT&T launched U-verse, a cable-like service, in the Madison area Monday.
In addition to Madison, U-verse expanded to several other communities in South Central Wisconsin, including Beloit, Fitchburg, Maple Bluff, Middleton, Monona and Shorewood Hills. The service also includes a high-speed Internet package so that TV, broadband and wireless services can be bundled together in one bill, which AT&T officials hope will provide an alternative to cable.
Cable has been the only game in town for too long,"" AT&T General Manager for Illinois and Wisconsin Shelley Goodman said in a statement. ""We know Madison-area customers want a better choice to break free from cable, and AT&T U-verse TV is the answer.""
