MCN Newswire: Google Fiber Nears Triple Play; U-verse Subs Get Unlimited Data Options; ChannelMaster Gets Newsy

Top Stories - March 30, 2016 Google Fiber Nears Completion of Triple Play  Pushing ahead on trials that emerged in January, Google Fiber has introduced Fiber Phone, a $10 per month optional add-on that will become available to customers of its basic Internet service, 1-Gig standalone broadband offering, and subs who take its gigabit/pay TV bundle.  more WHY THIS MATTERS: Though Fiber Phone will be available as part of a double-play bundle by pairing it with a high-speed Internet service, the new option will give Google Fiber a way to offer triple-play packages that have long been available from its MSO and telco competitors. AT&T Offering Unlimited U-verse Data Plan AT&T is introducing a new unlimited data plan for its U-verse home Internet subscribers that launches May 23, costing an extra $30 per month for standalone broadband customers, but free to those who subscribe to a video-Internet bundle. more WHY THIS MATTERS: Data caps are a focus in Washington recently, with the news of Netflix's efforts to slow traffic, ostensibly to help customers with usage-based pricing plans, and the FCC's investigation of zero-rating services as carve-outs from such plans. Channel Master Adds Newsy to OTT Lineup Channel Master, the maker of a subscription-free DVR with integrated over-the-air and over-the-top capabilities, said it has added Newsy to its OTT lineup. more WHY THIS MATTERS: The integration gives Channel Master's DVR+, which is aimed at cord-cutters and consumers who have never had a traditional pay TV subscription, a millennial-tailored network, while Newsy gets distribution like a live, linear channel alongside broadcast networks.
