Customers slow to tune into AT&T's and Verizon's TV over fiber Information Week By. W. David GardnerBoth AT&T and Verizon have been utilizing fiber optic cabling to bring TV to customers' home and to compete with cable companies.
AT&T is getting some bad news on its U-verse TV system: Not only is it costing $1.4 billion more than anticipated to install, but the company's decision to use copper for the final leg into customers' homes is being called into question.
AT&T said it will spend as much as $6.5 billion to deploy the TV service by 2008, and the company also cut the number of homes the service will initially serve by 1 million, according to a report in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal.
