Taking a cue from Verizon, AT&T, the nation's largest wireless network, is gearing up to launch its own television service.

The new service will offer content from networks like CBS, Comedy Central, NBC, and Fox, for a total of 150 shows, including popular programs like CSI and The Daily Show. The carrier will also have the exclusive mobile rights to CNN content like the May 6 Democratic primaries and programming from Sony Pictures Television movie channel, PIX. AT&T is partnering with QUALCOMM's MediaFLO USA Inc., to bring the service to 58 markets.

In order to take advantage of the new service, customers much purchase either the $300 LG Vu or the $200 Samsung Access--both require a two-year AT&T contract. The TV starter pack will begin at $15 a month.
