AT&T to team up with Akimbo
The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that AT&T will team up with San Mateo-based Akimbo to allow customers to download movies and shows over the Internet through AT&T's upcoming television service this summer.
The new AT&T service, called Homezone, is set to start in California and 12 other states by late summer. Homezone will combine several services:
• Live TV from the dish network
• DSL Internet service
• Major-studio movies downloadable from Movielink
• Older TV shows and movies downloadable from Akimbo
• Digital video recording
• Caller ID that appears on the television screen; and
• Photo-sharing and radio services from Yahoo.
The set-top box will be manufactured by San Jose-based 2Wire. AT&T did not release price information.

“AT&T did not release price information.”
This sounds to be an interesting device and surely would attract a lot of users but price is an importnat factor and AT&T should give more on price.
