New York - Verizon (NYSE: VZ) said on Wednesday that it has filed with the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications to become the first provider to offer digital TV service throughout the five boroughs of New York. "Currently, only two legacy cable TV companies operate in separate and distinct parts of the city, leaving consumers, effectively, with little or no competitive choice for their cable TV news, information and entertainment," the company said. If approved, Verizon could begin offering its FiOS TV service in the city later this year.
