AT&T Offers Year of Free HD to Fight Cable

The nation's largest telephone company will offer new video customers one year of free HD programming. In a promotion scheduled to run for a few months, AT&T said it will provide more than 25 channels of HD programming, including those of local broadcast affiliates, free to new U-verse TV subscribers.

AT&T regularly charges $10 per month for HD service with U-verse TV, which is now available in parts of 15 metro areas. Most cable operators also charge an additional monthly fee, about $10 to $15, for a tier of HD channels.

In areas where U-verse TV is unavailable, AT&T will offer free HD service — up to 31 channels — to customers who sign up for direct-broadcast satellite service from DirecTV or EchoStar's dish network.
