“U.S. phone company AT&T Inc plans to eventually link Apple Inc’s iPhone to its high-speed Internet and video service called U-verse, and introduce new features like using the phone as a remote control,” Ritsuko Ando reports for Reuters.
“‘We’re looking at the whole landscape, of what people use, and what’s out there in the home,’ said AT&T Chief Technology Officer John Donovan, adding that some of the services may be launched by the end of the year,” Ando reports.
