Ch 7, the News Station

[Anthony Abruzzese]

But there is Verizon Fiber all over the city. Virtually no new infrastructure needed to offer consumer level Cable TV & Internet services in Boston, just a deal with the city.

 

If the existing agreements were expiring, then the RCN work on their system may have been negotiated in to a new agreement. Verizon would be allowed to enter the market with the expiration of any exclusivity clauses in the cable franchise agreements.

 

At least that’s how it used to work.  I could be wrong… I’m getting old, I forget things.  J

Odd since Verizon made a big deal last year announcing that they were no longing building Fios anywhere.  They would maintain what they had but there would be no further expansion. Period.

RCN may be bolstering their infrastructure as a measure to block FiOS 

from gaining a third franchise for Cable TV and Internet service in the city.

 

 

Walsh and Verizon announced a deal earlier this year. Service should be up and running in West Roxbury before the end of the year.
