Looks like Verizon is going to put its Intel Media acquisition into good use.

But...I thought their lobbyists have been arguing for years that they don't have the wireless bandwidth for this..

Verizon FiOS, not Verizon Wireless.

As I see it, they are really only trying to maintain their revenue stream because I am sure that they see a trend of people dropping their crap service in favor of other means of delivery of content. I would not be surprised if they try charging more for this service than they do for traditional subscription TV services.

Even so, after having dropped Dish Network and gone to a streaming / OTA solution where I pay less than 1/5 what I was paying for what amounts to essentially the same content, I would NEVER consider this.

If even behemoth Intel dropped the idea, there has to be a reason. My bet is that there is a good chance that if Verizon does this, their attempt will fail.

Wiyosaya, how depressing. I was hoping for new Verizonized TV shows. Like...

CSI - Cable Service Investigators - where diligent Verizon staffers uncover criminal empires and depose evil monogothics named "Com" and "Cast" and maybe a few "Tim... Tim Warner" jokes on Channel 007.

Law & Order SUV - where Verizon vehicles finally get to shine on their own, rolling over evil competitors and foiling desperate wiring and cell-tower schemes.

Wiy, if you're right, though, none of this may transpire. Wot a shame!

Competition for comcast and time warner is good. Their prices are obsurd.
