Android accounts for one-quarter of mobile web traffic
Android is mopping up Apple and RIM's declining mobile mindshare in the US, you'll find nothing but corroboration from Quantcast. The analytics firm reckons a full one-quarter of mobile web traffic stateside comes from devices running Google's OS

So it sounds like one will still need to have U-Verse's DVR in the house as a gateway, and the MC7 would run as a thin client, pulling media from U-Verse's DVR storage. This, of course, leads me to wonder a couple of things:
* Could you easily put a 2TB drive in this system (does U-Verse currently have expandable eSATA storage functionality?)
* Will the interface on those clients be MC7's, or would it be the black and orange interface seen in the previous article about the XBox360 being supported in U-Verse homes.
IF the answers to these are "Yes", and "MC7 interface", then I don't really see any reason why I need to plunk down $400 for a CableCARD tuner and deal with TimeWarner's spotty CableCARD service.

It doesn't sound like it... sounds like it will be to provide service to customers outside of the dedicated U_verse network area, but on broadband/dsl. So this seams to be a silverlight based pure web play, but we'll have to wait and see.
All I know for sure is U-Verse is 2 blocks south of me, and probably will be for a long time. If I could get the Service over my DSL, on my PC, and without having to rent their boxes....
All I can say is this makes Cable Cards, satellite dishes, and rented boxes/cars/remotes/etc look VERY LAME!!!!

No. This will be available only to Uverse subscribers. It is a live television service, not Hulu or Netflix streaming. You still need the Uverse residential gateway in your home in order to receive the television streams at all.
@asfdsad
go back and read it again... this is an extension to u-verse, probably only for att dsl subscribers, that aren't fully wired for the higher level QoS u-verse requires.
@frankinla
Indeed, go read it again.
You must have a Uverse residential gateway and a Uverse DVR in your home to use this. Ergo, AT&T DSL customers are not eligible.
You must have Uverse service to use this.
