Technically DirecTV Didn't Raise Prices

[RRR]

Well according to the AT&T spin doctors anyway.

AT&T told a federal judge this year that its landmark merger with Time Warner would probably result in lower prices for its DirecTV customers. But the telecom giant is saying that it will raise the price of DirecTV’s online streaming service, DirecTV Now, by $5 a month for new and existing customers, according to an AT&T spokesman.
The decision affects all service tiers of the product, according to Cord Cutters News, which first reported the change. That brings the base tier to $40 per month and the top tier to $75. In a statement, AT&T said its decision was driven by industry trends.

AT&T’s announcement for DirecTV Now does not appear to extend to customers of DirecTV’s legacy product, its satellite TV service. Technically speaking, that means AT&T still has not raised prices for traditional pay-TV customers, the market with which the Justice Department’s case was most concerned. Still, AT&T has made no secret of its desire to phase out its declining satellite business by shifting even those customers to online streaming.

My DirecTV bill has gone up, my AT&T and Verizon bills have gone up. My property taxes have gone up. My gas prices have gone up. My grocery bill has gone up. My insurance and just about everything else has gone up. So why should any of these increases by DirecTV or Dish or anyone else be newsworthy? Chuck

I live in a reality that if you tell the judge something you do it, not twist and worm your way out of it. Guess your reality is different.
