"The service will enable AT&T customers to view live television on their laptops or other Wi-Fi enabled devices while connected to one of AT&T's Wi-Fi hot spots. MobiTV's service, which includes 15 channels of news, sports, entertainment and full-length music videos, will be available this month at nearly 7,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots.
