Here are the highlights from this investor conference.
U-verse is in 43 markets and has passed 10 million units. Market penetration is greater than 14% in markets open more than a year. This number continue to rise. Still on track for 1 million subscribers by year end and 30M units passed in 2010. 60% of U-verse subs are coming from cable. 1/3 were not previous ATT customers. More than 90% are attaching internet service to the video product.
All markets have 40+ HD channels with more on the way by year end. 2HD being rolled out now. 4HD will be able to fit int he current 25meg profile, however I cant imagine this leaving much room for internet.
25% use remote dvr programming. 50% have used u-bar. 50% of those with flickr accounts have used the u-verse flickr service. WHDVR still scheduled for 2H08. There is an interactive weather service planned, maybe it will be good enough to replace on the 8s. There will be a channel mosaic feature to group channels by genre. There will be an Olympics app in Q3 that will make it easy to get medal count and find Olympics programming. I have little doubt this app will be a big hit.
ATT gave 50 satisified cable customer a U-verse taste test. This group favored U-verse 4 to 1 on various metrics.
ATT now has 17,000 wifi hotspots.

You can now complete the triple play in Detroit by adding the 1000 minute plan for $10 or the unlimited plan for $20. Hopefully these prices will spread to other markets where the voice product is available.

U-verse for small business is now available. TV is currently not available with this package. The prices are the same as business dsl, but you get the 1 meg upload. The 10/1.5 package is $100/month. Expensive, but still much cheaper than a T1.
It will be interesting to find out what the distance limit to this service is. If a 25/2 profile works at 3000 for video, I would think ATT should be able to provision a 10/1.5 line at much greater distances.

calebthegeek is reporting that he now has a 2HD/2SD profile on his u-verse setup. It appears that St. Louis will be getting this profile first and it will roll to other markets over the next month or so.
His IPTV cap has also be increased to 29.9 meg from the current 20.9 meg profile. I am going to assume this means the RG cap has been raised as well since this is 5 megs above its 25 meg cap.
In other new San Antonio officially has U-bar and Flickr.
HPNA 3.1 has been certified for 2Wire's VDSL2 iNid. |

By the end of QTR1 2008 u-verse had added 148k new subs, bringing the total to 379k. U-verse has now passed 9 million units. If they are going to make it to the planned 18 million units by year end they need to pass about 3.3 every qtr for the rest of the year.
U-verse is still on target to pass 1 million subs by year end. This should not be a problem if they keep their current pace. They are achieving greater than 10% penetration is markets open less than 12 months.
As the U-verse network is expanded U-verse services will be made available to business users. The customer base is being transitioned to the U-verse network.
2nd HD stream will be made available in qtr2. Hopefully we will see it soon. No comment on WHDVR availability.
This last bit is not related to U-verse, but I found it interesting.
The unlimited wireless calling plan has increased the greater than $99/month plan share adoption to 4.0% from 1.5%.
