AT&T's DirecTV Now Is A Big Bundle When Consumers Want Skinny

DirecTV Now, something of an online replica of AT&T's satellite offering, will face more competition than its analog ever had on land. There's the genuinely skinny bundle of Dish Network's (DISH) SlingTV, which charges $20 a month for 30 channels and $25 a month for 44 channels. In the less than two years since it was launched, SlingTV has attracted more than 1 million subscribers, according to a study by Dallas market research and consulting company Parks Associates.
