Virginia to Accelerate Roll-out of Verizon FiOS TV Service

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on February 28, 2006 - 9:09am.
Richmond, Va. - In a win for Verizon, the Virginia House of Delegates on Monday passed compromise legislation designed to hasten competition for cable television services in the state. The bill, already passed by the Senate, would help Verizon more rapidly launch its FiOS TV service in the state, while at the same time give local governments the authority to ensure that the company doesn't solely target wealthy neighborhoods. Verizon already offers its Internet-based FiOS TV service in parts of Northern Virginia.
