CHICAGO -- The Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA(TM)) announced its latest member, AT&T Laboratories, Inc. AT&T Labs will represent AT&T, and membership in MoCA is part of AT&T's strategy to investigate and promote a seamless method for moving digital content throughout the home, via any technology and medium that makes the most technical and economic sense for the end consumer.

The various AT&T affiliates and subsidiaries already offer an expansive portfolio of services for the home as the number one provider of DSL and local voice services, and a major supplier of Wi-Fi capability in the U.S.
