Verizon TV

The Gazette reports on Verizon's attempts to get a video-franchise deal (i.e., to sell TV service over their fiber optic network) with the Prince George's County Council. I hope the Council ensures that Verizon will provide service to the entire county; the article is unclear about about whether people outside of Bowie and Laurel even have access to the fiber optic network. And as Art Brodsky noted a while back, the big telecom bill Verizon was championing earlier this year (the same one that would have eliminated net neutrality, BTW) didn't do much to ensure equitable access to fiber optic video, so I'm not expecting them to have had a sudden change of heart since then on this subject.
