BellSouth Teams Up with Operators to Deliver DIRECTV®
BellSouth recently announced that it has entered into non-exclusive agreements with DirecTECH and MasTec Inc., DIRECTV Master System Operators, to jointly market and deploy DIRECTV® services to the residential multi-dwelling unit (MDU) market in BellSouth service areas.
Under these agreements, BellSouth will be able to offer voice, data and DIRECTV programming packages specifically designed for the MDU market. Joint proposals and coordinated deployment of services will provide multi-family developers and homeowners associations with a full menu of premium residential technology services that will result in time and cost savings to residents.
"BellSouth's comprehensive portfolio of voice and data products, combined with the specialized DIRECTV experience of DirecTECH and MasTec, provides the multi-dwelling unit market with a dependable source for the services that meet its specific needs," said Phil Jacobs, president - Community Technologies, BellSouth. "As a result of these agreements, developers, managers and residents of multi-dwelling developments in the Southeast receive reliable phone and Internet services and unique digital programming such as NFL Sunday Ticket and Spanish language channels."
BellSouth said that the approach to serving residential multi-family developments is markedly different from the residential single-family market. Because voice, video and data services require wiring and equipment installed in common areas, multi- family developers and homeowners associations prefer to contract with a team that can efficiently deliver the services they need. Similarly, residents of multi-family developments, if given the option, are more apt to subscribe to technology services from providers with simplified solutions.
