AT&T’s move puts it ahead of Comcast’s plans. The company launched its $65 Xfinity mobile plan last month for its existing customers. Comcast is expected to release its streaming service Xfinity Instant TV later this year, offering $15-$40 per month plans. That would put the company head-to-head with AT&T, since both would offer mobile plans and packages for cable cord-cutters.
AT&T’s DirecTV Now deal comes after Roku announced it launched an early release of the service on in its devices. DirecTV Now is available on Roku TV 4K models, including the Roku Ultra, Roku Premiere+, Roku Premiere, Roku Express, Roku Express+, Roku Streaming Stick (model 3600R), Roku 4, Roku 3 and Roku 2 (model 4210). Roku said it was working with AT&T to add more devices.
If you have a Roku TV and want to try out DirecTV Now, you can use the code ROKU1MONTH for a free one-month trial (offer ends Aug. 31). After the month is up, you’ll be billed automatically $35 a month unless you cancel the plan.
