AT&T Inc. and Starz Entertainment Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corp., have teamed to offer Starz’s Vongo Internet movie-delivery service to AT&T high-speed Internet customers.
Financial terms of the deal were not announced.
Vongo delivers movies and other video content over the Internet for playback on Windows-based PCs, laptops and select portable media devices, as well as on a TV.
The agreement – the first distribution deal for Vongo with a broadband provider – will feature a co-branded AT&T and Vongo Web site, with a 14-day free trial offer to AT&T high-speed Internet subscribers.
The companies also will market the Vongo service on the AT&T Worldnet portal.
Vongo subscribers have unlimited access to more than 1,500 movie and video selections as well as a live, streaming Starz TV channel for $9.99 per month. Members may download movies and video selections onto three eligible devices of their choice for each account, allowing for multiple-viewing options. Additionally, select pay-per-view titles are available for $3.99 a movie.
Vongo currently is available as a free download for broadband subscribers in the United States.
