AT&T Introduces U-verse in Ventura County

A new world of communications and entertainment is now available to residents in Ventura County. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced the launch of AT&T U-verseSM, which utilizes AT&T’s new fiber-rich network to offer cutting-edge television and high speed Internet services. AT&T is the only national provider to offer a 100 percent Internet Protocol (IP)-based television service, making U-verse TV “cooler than cable” and one of the most robust and feature-rich services available today.

AT&T U-verse services are initially available in parts of the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura metropolitan statistical area (MSA), including Simi Valley. AT&T will continue to increase availability throughout the area on an ongoing basis. AT&T U-verse offers customers a combination of next-generation digital television — including access to more than 25 High Definition (HD) channels — and high speed Internet access. The award-winning AT&T U-verse TV includes cutting-edge features that are unmatched in the market, while the new U-verse enabled AT&T Yahoo!® High Speed Internet builds on AT&T’s position as the nation’s leading provider of broadband DSL.

“AT&T U-verse provides an innovative entertainment experience, and we’ve gotten great feedback on our television service and unmatched features from U-verse customers across the country,” said Kieran Nolan, AT&T vice president and general manager for the Los Angeles area. “We’re ready to show our Ventura County customers what AT&T U-verse can do.”

The expansion of AT&T U-verse services in California follows progressive legislation passed by the California Legislature and signed in September 2006 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. U-verse services are also available to households in the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara markets.
