“The unlimited data mobile wars have been going for awhile … as T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon encourage people to (buy) the highest tier of mobile services,” said Brett Sappington, who studies both traditional and non-traditional pay TV providers at research outfit Parks Associates.
WatchTV, then, is just the latest incentive that AT&T can use to dangle in front of its (and its competitors’) customers to get them to pony up for its priciest wireless plans.

For context, in the first quarter, AT&T reported revenue of $38 billion, and more than $17 billion came from its biggest business: mobile.
