OP here!
It was one of the escalation reps, not just a tier one phone monkey.
Their quote was (more or less) "while we currently don't charge extra to use Netflix on our network, that will change in the near future".
I HOPE that the rep misunderstood the wording of a new agreement where you can bundle Netflix and/or Hulu with your ATT subscription or something similarly benign.
It's not explanations 1, 2, or 6. We had a pretty long discussion about ATT's services including the technical aspects.
I put "apparently" in the title because I wanted it to be clear that it was based on what a rep told me rather than something that was in the ATT earnings report or shareholder meeting (if such a thing exists).
I appreciate your use of logic in the response!

- Jtsummers 13y agoOk, I still think it's highly unlikely, but that makes more sense than with wireless. On wireless they're moving to contract-free plans (bring your own device setup, basically), and there are too many options in most areas. Unless competitors did the same thing, T-mobile is just one SIM card away, and Verizon (with some phones) may not require a new phone. For uverse, they do have fewer direct competitors. But, at least for me, I didn't mind ditching cable for slower DSL when their service (despite the speed difference) became too expensive. DSL is still fast enough for Hulu/Netflix/Steam game downloads. People will vote with their feet if they're tasked with spending $x extra a month for a service they already pay for (unless this is a bundle of some sort).
