The Metro Council voted unanimously Wednesday to allow AT&T to offer television service in East Baton Rouge Parish, adding another competitor to a market that includes cable provider Cox Communications and satellite services Dish Network and Direct TV.
The agreement, the first between a Louisiana municipality and AT&T, will allow the company to begin providing Internet-based television programming along with its Internet service through DSL and fiber lines using a set-top box.
An AT&T spokeswoman could not be reached for comment this morning about when the service will be available.
The city-parish will get 5 percent of AT&T’s gross revenue from subscription fees and 0.5 percent of gross revenue to support the capital costs incurred for the construction and operation of the city-parish’s public, educational and governmental channels.
