Verizon FiOS finds Florida

By Kevin C. Tofel

Wow, if this Verizon FiOS thing keeps expanding quickly, we're going to need a giant Risk board or wicked-cool Google mash-up map to keep track of the locations. Last week Verizon announced service expansions North in New York and Massachusetts; today they're soaking up the sun in Florida. Over 2,400 lucky households in Manatee County will get their DTV over fiber today and Verizon is now authorized to provide the service for an additional 735,000 residents in Hillsborough County. Verizon is touting over 20 HD channels in a FiOS package, which is just a shade less than DISH's new HD packages announced yesterday.
