Under an agreement with the Masters, AT&T will be providing golf fans with extensive live footage and on-demand content from Augusta National across the three screens that matter most to consumers.

Content will include:

– Par 3 Contest, which features a live feed from this popular contest on
Wednesday, April 8.

— Masters Extra, which gives AT&T viewers one hour of live play-by-play
action before cable and network broadcast coverage begins.

— Amen Corner Live, which features live coverage of the 11th, 12th and
13th holes.

— 15th/16th Live, which features live coverage of the 15th and 16th
holes.

AT&T’s Masters Coverage

Interestingly enough, after just posting my previous post about what Microsoft’s next big thing could be, one of the things I mentioned, Microsoft Surface, is now on display in a few select AT&T locations around the United States.

Put Your Hands on Microsoft Surface and Experience It for Yourself

I was really hoping I might get lucky and there would be more than there are and one of them would be here in Indianapolis. No such luck. Here are the locations where you can see it for yourself at your local AT*T store:

• New York City
  381 Madison Avenue
  New York, NY 10017
• New York City
  350 Park Avenue
  New York, NY 10022
• Atlanta
  3429 Lenox Road NE
  Atlanta, GA 30326
• San Antonio
  13127 San Pedro Avenue
  San Antonio, TX 78216
• San Francisco
  1206 El Camino Real
  San Bruno, CA 94066

If you’re in one of these locations, I’d love to hear a real-world user’s feedback on what they think about the possibilities. Will it be the next big thing?

UPDATE: Here’s coverage of the AT&T store launches from the Surface team blog

Try Microsoft’s Surface Computing for Yourself at AT&T Stores

The Internet brings you unrestricted access to information, low-cost services, and innovative new products. You go where you want, buy what you want, and use any services you need. As long has you have an Internet connection, no one can stop you. Until now.

Giant companies, like AT&T and Verizon, that offer high-speed Internet service want the right to decide what web sites, services, and applications you can use. A few big telephone and cable companies own the lines that connect you to the Internet, so they want to use those lines to control whether and how fast you can get someplace on the Web. They plan to favor their own services, slowing your access to Internet-based competitors like companies that offer cheaper Internet-phone service, low-cost video downloads or better e-mail services.
