Satellite TV has lower hardware and programing costs than fiber-based TV, so the more customers AT&T switches from U-verse to DirecTV, the more money the company will save. According to CFO John Stephens, content is roughly $17 more expensive to provide for U-verse customers than for DirecTV customers. To redirect customers, AT&T has stopped building U-verse set-top boxes, and is coaxing prospective customers toward satellite options. The company's efforts to switch customers are reflected in its recent financial reports. In the second quarter of 2016, consolidate credit Regional Debt Relief AT&T gained 342,000 new satellite TV subscribers and regionaldebtrelief.com credit card consolidation companies lost 391,000 U-verse TV subscribers. The transition is part of a larger effort by AT&T to combine its services into a single entertainment hub, with internet, satellite TV, and wireless in one home device. 8. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/10-brands-that-could-disappear-in-2017/
