T-Mobile is taunting its rival AT&T, who recently launched its brand new live television streaming service DirecTV Now, by offering subscribers free Hulu for a year if they have dropped the competing platform. The mobile carrier aims to “cover the stench of DirecTV Now,” which has been plagued with technical issues since its launch.
According to Variety, the new offer is being extended to ex-DirecTV Now customers who took advantage of T-Mobile’s promotion last month for $35-per-month credit for a year. Although free, T-Mobile has stated that users may be charged tax for the basic Hulu service, which is regularly priced at $7.99 per month.
