Why does AT&T U-verse no longer permit AT&T U-verse Mobile on Windows based mobile phones?

Nothing to do with ATT, it is a decision made by Microsoft.

How do you know the decision came from Microsoft?

Because it happened when Microsoft announced that support for apps & Windows Mobile 6 was not going to be supported when 8 came out, then shortly after, 8 was released, a lot of mobile apps for their mobile 7 platform stopped working, or were taken out of the store, under Microsoft's decision.

Same thing happens with Apple & Google in their stores. It comes down to licensing, and compatibility. Until either the writers of the apps are able to get the three to okay them, when they roll the new version out, is usually only then, that you see the app available for download through their stores.

On the AT&T channel last nighe they stated the U-Verse APP is availble for your tablet and smart phone and that it is FREE

 well we all know that is a lie

It never mentions what platform, just makes a broad statement.

No, it does not.  You are referring to the U-verse Live TV App not the U-verse Mobile App.  The U-verse Live TV App is a wireless product, not a U-verse product, and it does not require the wireless customer to subscriber to U-verse services.  Please see your previous thread on this same topic where this was explained to you:

The solution to that is to get a Slingbox, granted it's $15 for the app, but you only have to pay once and you can watch your own tv as well as manager your DVR.
