'Let freedom stream': AT&T's lousy Black Friday deals roster linked to DirectTV Now's launch

This only comes to confirm where AT&T's focus is. The carrier has the healthiest average revenue per user numbers in the industry already, and is aiming to build a media company instead of simply being a dumb pipe for bits and bytes and voices. 

Despite all the net neutrality controversy surrounding DirecTV Now, AT&T is pretty nonplussed about the matter, saying that it is beneficial for subscribers who don't want to count gigs and fret about their video usage on the go all the time. Well, if the AT&T-Time Warner buyout is approved, we don't even want to think about next year's holday deals on phones from the carrier, and hope that HBO Go won't then be zero-rated on AT&T only.
