Verizon celebrates FiOS anniversary


Earlier this week the communications giant Verizon recognized the second anniversary of its revolutionary FiOS TV product.

Since being introduced in September 2005 FiOS has proved a smash-hit with Verizon customers, the company claims. FiOS was first introduced in Texas and so far over a quarter of Verizon customers in the state have signed ohttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifn to the service. Kurt Scherf, vice president and principal analyst for Parks Associates, said: "Verizon is leveraging its infrastructure and technology advantages - its fiber-optic network, the in-home network and the FiOS TV platform - to maximum effect.

"At this point, FiOS TV is 18 months to two years ahead of where the rest of the industry needs to be." Last year Verizon introduced the Home Media DVR service for FiOS, as well as the interactive media guide. Using DVR, customers can watch different previously-recorded shows on as many as three TVs in different rooms. The name Verizon is a combination of the words veritas and horizon.
