Blumenthal Shifts Stance On AT&T TV Service

BLUMENTHAL SHIFTS STANCE ON AT&T TV SERVICE
[SOURCE: The Hartford Courant, AUTHOR: Mark Peters]
After winning a months-long battle that ended with a prohibition against AT&T's signing up new customers for its TV service, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal on Tuesday said the phone giant should be allowed to resume marketing the service. AG Blumenthal reversed his stance against allowing AT&T to sign up new customers for what he called an illegal cable service amid growing political support for the state's largest phone company. AT&T has put pressure on regulators and AG Blumenthal, saying it won't offer its competitive TV service in Connecticut and will lay off more than 300 employees if a week-old ruling by the state Department of Public Utility Control stands.
