City Council Approves FiOS

020509fios.jpg Hot diggity! Today City Council gave final approval to a 15-year franchise to Verizon for its FiOS TV service.

Here’s my favorite part of Catherine Lucey’s Clout post on the decision:

Councilman Bill Green had proposed adding an amendment to make the company pay more for public-access programming. But he withdrew those plans today after Mayor Nutter resolved the issue with local public access advocates.

Hey, know what we should do before making Verizon pay more for public-access programming? GET PUBLIC-ACCESS PROGRAMMING!

    What good is this if you can’t even get “Comcast Sportsnet” on it? Comcast wont let them carry the channel in the Philly area and SJ. How is anyone supposed to watch Philly Sports teams?

    Their internet is better than comcast and they don’t cap your rates if you pirate lots of shit.

    FIOS has CSN- I know many people with the service. They also have the NFL Network included with no extra charge.

    I must be thinking of DirecTV/Dish Network then.

    The real question is, will FIOS still carry comcast sportsnet for philadelphia customers?
