U-verse Saves Energy

SAN ANTONIO -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced that AT&T U-verseSM TV is the first video service provider to commit to operating under the new ENERGY STAR program for video providers.

As an ENERGY STAR participant, AT&T will provide U-verse TV customers with Motorola and Cisco Systems Inc. receivers that meet the new ENERGY STAR efficiency criteria well in advance of Jan. 1, 2009, when it goes into effect. U-verse TV Internet Protocol (IP) receivers offer increased energy efficiency compared with other digital set-top boxes today. ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy that sets strict energy-efficiency specifications and promotes qualified products to help American consumers reduce their carbon footprint and save money.

"Everyone can play a part in being good stewards of the environment, and we're proud that AT&T U-verse TV is an ENERGY STAR partner from day one," said Eric Small, AT&T vice president of broadband planning. "We're committed to providing customers with products and services that can minimize their environmental and energy impact. That's why we're proud to participate in the ENERGY STAR program and to exceed the EPA requirements for video providers, with 100 percent of our deployed U-verse receivers meeting ENERGY STAR efficiency requirements."
