Buckle up AT&T users, AT&T has announced data free streaming of DirecTV or U-Verse for television, customers using AT&T network will now be able to watch live or recorded shows from a mobile device without spending any of their data capital.

This facility will be available with the update to the DirecTV app, which is out now for iOS and will be soon joined by the Android.

The latest plan by AT&T is part of a new technique to attract customers and to keep them inside of a company’s bundled services. T-Mobile’s Binge of providing unlimited data plan for new and prevailing customers is also one of the similar technique to nudge consumers into preferred services with the lure of attractive offers.

Such plans can be a mixed bag for the customers. It’s good for you and your wallet if you’re using or opting to have one of such bundle plans as it will consume less data and hence it won’t exceed your data cap, and you can get benefits from going all-in with one provider. But for the internet providing companies it would be a challenge to keeping the Internet open is going to be a long-term with bundle and wider array of services.
