As many people are well aware, the company’s all-encompassing WarnerMedia will be unleashing its highly anticipated streaming service HBO Max in May, so there’s no doubt the powers that be are hoping that customers who spend a little time with all the free channels will take the plunge with an HBO Max subscription when that releases.
To be sure, while giving customers access to free channels is certainly a step in the benevolent direction for a monolith corporation like AT&T, the move isn’t exactly selfless.
Especially after recent comments played down the importance of DirecTV in the years moving forward.
