and Tries TV from the Phone Company
San Antonio, TX -- PR tech blogger, Alan Weinkrantz, will log daily
posts this week at his blog, www.satechblog.com,
showcasing his experience and comments in being trial user of AT&T’s
new U-verse IPTV service which is being deployed in San Antonio.
“The week of May 22, I’ll be writing about my experience with both
AT&T (NYSE: T) and Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) ordering service,
disconnecting the cable company, the installation and set-up, and
user experience,” stated Weinkrantz.

The daily posts will also include a “Memo to Ed,” which will be
suggestions to AT&T chairman Ed Whitacre. Weinkrantz is offering
Whitacre (or any senior level AT&T executive) the opportunity to
come to his house to hang out and watch IPTV on the family’s 56 inch
Sony TV. “Y’all are invited over during the upcoming Memorial Day
weekend. We can watch TV, surf the web at blazing speeds, and with a
few hours’ advance notice, I’ll even grill steaks,” states
Weinkrantz.
Weinkrantz currently has three TVs running on the AT&T system and
operates a totally wireless home, with the help of Apple AirPort
devices. Even the stereo system can be controlled from Weinkrantz’s
Apple PowerBook so he can listen to his iTunes-based music or
favorite Internet radio stations.
Weinkrantz is president of the international technology PR firm,
Alan Weinkrantz And Company, which serves clients in the U.S. and
Israel. The agency’s clients include AudioCodes, CopperGate
Communications, Mercom Systems, pulver.com / Jeff Pulver. These
companies or individuals are all involved in IP or VoIP related
technologies, products, services and thought leadership. Weinkrantz
is approaching the blog posts as a consumer who enjoys using and
trying new technology products and services.
Weinkrantz is also a veteran blogger, whose unique blogs have
received international media coverage. Last year, Weinkrantz sold
his San Antonio home by using a
blog to discuss his house, his neighbors, and the community that
prospective buyers would live in. The story of the blog was covered
in a number of publications including BusinessWeek, The Wall Street
Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, CBS News’ MarketWatch, the
Chicago Tribune, and the San Jose Mercury News, and was also picked
up in countries such as Italy and The Netherlands. Weinkrantz also
maintains another blog about life in the technology PR lane, which
