AT&T’s New TV App Developed In Israel

| November 29, 2016 | Yesterday, US telecommunications conglomerate AT&T launched a new TV project, in which content is streamed to the web via an application. The application was mainly developed by AT&T’s Israel R&D center. The R&D center had started out as Israeli company Interwise, acquired by AT&T in October 2007. It has over 500 employees and is managed by the center’s CEO Nir Shalom. Other than video content, the new service offers more than 120 TV channels: sports channels, content channels, live performances and more. The company said that DirectTV Now will be offered on all devices, independently of AT&T’s mobile phone services. The app is available on both Apple and Android devices, but is not currently available outside the US.
