AT&T moves closer to local service: Accord with Time Warner offers company access to 12 million customers

Article Abstract:

AT and T Corp. is moving closer to a joint venture with Time Warner to provide local telephone service over existing cable lines. In an attempted end-run around local telephone service providers, AT and T hopes to sign a 20-year exclusive contract offering bundled telecommunications service to all of Time Warner's cable television subscribers. This deal could translate into substantially lower rates for local telephone service. Consumer groups, federal regulators and competing Baby Bells are expected to resist the proposed joint venture. Time Warner must also still get approval from MediaOne Group, a large stake holder in Time Warner's cable system. AT and T is expected to control 77.5% of the new venture and Time Warner 22.5%. The joint venture could be a milestone in the convergence of the cable and telecommunications industry.
