In the fourth quarter of 2016, AT&T will launch DirecTV Now , an over the top video entertainment product with a heavy mobile or untethered focus, featuring “100-plus premium channels.”
There are a couple angles here. Consider the way AT&T plans to manage bandwidth consumption and pricing, something that, in the mobile realm, has been a challenging barrier.
“And when you buy this content, the data required to stream it on your mobile device is incorporated into the price of the content,” said AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson at an investor conference.
“If you choose to use that in a mobile environment on AT&T your data cost associated with this is incorporated into your content cost,” he said.
There is a precedent for this: broadcast TV, broadcast radio, Sirius XM and cable TV and other linear video services. Or, if you like additional examples, newspapers and magazines that consumers can subscribe to, with delivery cost simply bundled into the price of the subscription.
Media products, in other words, always have featured incorporation of delivery cost into the purchased product price.
Zero rating of delivery cost (no incremental charge, in the above examples), is simply a common media and content product pricing model. Though some insist on casting zero rating as an infraction of network neutrality, it is simply an accepted model for media products.
As some have argued, video entertainment services can be viewed as “managed services,” not “Internet” apps. By definition, managed services are not subject to network neutrality rules.
The other angle is that in zero rating video entertainment, AT&T shows its belief that its mobile network can handle the huge increase in consumed bandwidth. And if the mobile network can handle entertainment video, it can handle all the other conceivable media types.
If the mobile network can handle all the media types, and former bandwidth restrictions are not impediments, then mobile increasingly will be a viable substitute for the fixed network.
You'll need to keep the sample near the warmest parts of your body. Men can keep it near their crotch, right below the underwear, whereas women can either do the same or store it in the space between the bra and the skin. Make sure you verify the temperature with a temperature strip before submitting the sample for a drug test. There are very specific and detailed instructions already present to create and use synthetic urine. That being said, a tip here and a trick there can do wonders for success rates, especially if it's your first time taking a drug test. Take it from the experts: below is a list of tips and tricks to be followed to a t when dealing with synthetic urine. • Don't stray from the instructions. There are tons of 'time-saving tips' and such present on the internet, but we promise none of them work. You're just risking your own career when you aren't following the instructions correctly. • Detoxing, drinking lots of water, and other such tricks will not help you in a drug test. Actually, drinking water excessively can lead to a bad sample and inconclusive results. Depending on the drugs used, a hair sample can even help determine when the drug was taken and whether it’s been discontinued. Hair drug tests are extremely accurate, but they do require a very specific set of standards during the collection and testing processes. For example, after the hair follicle is obtained, it must be properly washed and tested for any environmental contamination that could lead to false-positive results. Believe it or not, certain foods, like hemp seeds and poppy seeds, can even cause a false positive. To help avoid this, labs will typically take two tests in total.
