Looks like we are going to get some more choices for TV streaming. Notably T-Mobile and Verizon are following AT&T.
T-Mobile bought pay tv Layer 3 and Verizon is looking to buy a cable company.

Here is YouTube video from the T-Mobile CEO.

What would T-Mobile do here rent you a set top box from their retail store and then have cable packages you can buy from them?

The premium Layer 3 package was 75 a month for 12 months. Comcast is 80 but has all the movie channels. Is T-Mobile going to hit you with fees on top of it like Comcast?

Is the potential there for vertical savings? T-Mobile One is 70 dollars a month but reduces as you add lines....so could they treat TV as a line so for 120 dollars you've got a premium TV package plus unlimited data? Comcast is 110 but with taxes and fees more like 130. Comparable but the difference is T-Mobile price would be fixed and not float up after 12 months.

It sounds like a better gamble than some of these internet.TV services where you have to buy a set top on amazon.com with questionable service support and a more restricted TV lineup of 100 channels or so. We just have to see what this really is and what the price is
