AT&T Broadband announced Wednesday that it now provides local and long-distance phone service to customers in St.Paul, Minn.--a move that puts the cable TV and Internet access provider in direct competition with local phone companies like Qwest Communications International. AT&T Broadband now offers customers a single telephone line for $14.75 a month, which includes free installation, two months of free voice mail and a 30-day, money-back guarantee. Cable TV provider Comcast and AT&T Broadband are seeking government approval for their merger, a deal that would give the united company more than 21 million customers and access to 38 million households. AT&T Broadband ended the year with 1.01 million broadband telephony customers, compared to 544,000 at the same time a year ago.
