Verizon's FiOS moving into Bowie, Maryland
Yet again most of the counties high-def lovers are 'bout to get jealous when we tell them that Verizon's fiber-optic TV service has moved into another community. The town of Bowie, Maryland just brook a bottle of bubbly on the side of Verizon's FiOS service as it launched this last week. This is of course the same service that brings your TV and Internet service to your home via fiber optics instead of copper. That whole area seems to be laden with FiOS as the surrounding cities already have the service. So far Verizon is striking fear into the pocketbooks of cable company's in parts of Virginia, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas. We don't think we are the only ones that are hoping for this service in our neighborhood soon. Unfortunately, it takes time to work deals with local municipalities to grant them the appropriate contracts. Then they have to run all those lines and dig up everyones front yard, but what's a little grass seed compared to the amount of bandwidth you receive in return.
