AT&T to Broadcast Texas House Legislative Sessions to U-verse TV Customers
Statewide

Broadcasts to air through end of session on a trial basis at no cost to state

AUSTIN, Texas, April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T* today announced that it
will begin televising Texas House legislative sessions in mid-April to its
AT&T U-verse(SM) TV customers statewide. The trial program comes at the
request of the state House of Representatives, whose members have asked that
legislative sessions be televised to bring government closer to the public.

AT&T U-verse TV is available in parts of Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San
Antonio, Austin, El Paso, Lubbock, Midland and Odessa and numerous suburban
communities in those metro areas.

"Our goal is to be the best at connecting people, and that includes connecting
legislators with their constituents," said Don Cain, president of AT&T Texas.
"Our congratulations go to state Representatives Charlie Geren and Joaquin
Castro for spearheading the move to televise the sessions."

"We commend AT&T for launching this trial. Watching live broadcasts of House
sessions will be a new experience for consumers - many of whom live hundreds
of miles from the Capitol," said state Rep. Charlie Geren.

Equipment vendor ViewCast of Plano, Texas will partner with AT&T to televise
the hearings through the end of the Legislative session June 1. As part of the
trial program, both companies have agreed to televise the sessions at no cost
to the state.

The broadcasts will be available on channel 99, AT&T's PEG (public,
educational and government) programming channel for U-verse TV customers. The
Texas legislative sessions will be the first state government proceedings that
AT&T has broadcast to its customers statewide anywhere in the country.
