Hulu and AT&T have announced a joint effort to bring Hulu to the masses. According to a press release by AT&T this week, the communications giant will offer Hulu subscription streaming service to AT&T customers through a variety of platforms such as mobile apps and AT&T websites, slated to become available later this year.

“We know that our customers want to be able to access video on multiple devices,” said Andrew Goodman, associate vice president, AT&T content acquisition. “So we’re excited to be able to expand our relationship with Hulu and make its innovative and vast video selections available to AT&T customers on multiple screens.”

The goal for the partnership is to bring Hulu to more screens, as AT&T customers will be able to select from Hulu material through an AT&T app and from the website. Additionally, there are talks of eventually rolling out a Hulu app for TV. Just what the collaborative app would look like is unclear at this point.

Tim Connolly, Hulu’s senior vice president of partnerships and distribution said, “At Hulu, we strive to create the best possible video experience for customers – offering them the ability to view their favorite content, when, where and how they want. We are excited to be working with AT&T to connect its customers with our premium content on every screen.”

Hulu is taking a closer look at its business model as of late with rival Netflix continuing to dominate when it comes to both subscribers, and bandwidth used. In an attemp to keep up, Hulu made headlines for spending a whopping $180 million for the complete Seinfeld series, which will be available to its paying users this summer.

The AT&T deal will likely be a huge benefit to Hulu, as it will drive premium subscribers to the site. Previously AT&T hosted a decent library of Hulu’s free material embedded across a number of sites. Now, however the focus will shift to paid content. The new offers will become available later this year.

Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ get new pricing schemes this fall
Disney Plus on Roku.

Disney+ — and along with it, fellow Disney-owned streaming services Hulu and ESPN+ — have never had the simplest of pricing schemes. And this fall they're going to get a little more complex -- and more expensive. And more countries are getting more options.

First up: Canada and some European nations will get the ad-supported option for Disney+ starting November 1, 2023. It'll run $8 in the former, and 5 pounds or 6 euros in the latter. Current subscribers will stay in the ad-free plan unless they actively decide to switch.

T-Mobile’s huge lead in 5G speeds isn’t going anywhere

It looks like 2023 could shape up to be the year that we reach "peak 5G." While T-Mobile still enjoys a very healthy lead over its rivals, we're no longer seeing significant speed increases from any of the big three U.S. carriers.

That's not surprising for T-Mobile and Verizon since they now cover more than two-thirds of the U.S. population. AT&T still has room to grow, yet it seems to be in a resting phase rather than an expansion one right now.

The 5G speed race is over and T-Mobile has won

Every few months, a new market analysis comes out comparing the top 5G performance and availability among U.S. carriers. Each time, we wonder if the latest report will finally topple T-Mobile, which has held a commanding lead over rivals AT&T and Verizon for years. Yet, with each new report, T-Mobile pulls farther ahead while AT&T and Verizon are left in the dust.

With that in mind, Opensignal's latest 5G Experience Report doesn't bring too many surprises, at least in broad strokes. T-Mobile continues to deliver 5G download speeds that are more than twice those of any other carrier and more than twice the 5G availability. This means you won't just get faster performance on T-Mobile's 5G network, but you're more likely to be able to find a 5G connection.
